This week outside the children have been interested in playing with the guttering, they have been using the pipes to make a long track for the water to run down. The children have worked together to put the pipes together, the water wasn’t reaching where they wanted it to go. The children had to think about this and how they could make it go where they wanted to go. With support from an adult they spoke about having some height with the pipes and then this would make the water run ‘faster’ down the pipes. This was a great opportunity to talk with the children about positional language.

This week in the construction area the children have made a stage. The children took turns in going on the stage to perform in front of their friends, some children playing an instrument using the bricks, some children danced and some of the children sung a song. A few of the children in the ‘audience’ wanted to take pictures  of their friends on the stage using ipads. The children had to take turns with this activity and watch their friends and listen to what they were doing.

The children have been very interested in the new sensory experiences that are on offer. The children have been watching the bubbles and talking about the different colours that they change to. They also spoke about the reflection that the light was making on the ceiling, the blue light was for ‘night time.’ The red colour meant it was morning with a ‘beautiful sunrise.’  The children have enjoyed taking their shoes off to walk over the coloured tiles and watching the colour move around as they stand on the tiles.

On Thursday afternoon and Friday morning the children had the opportunity to wear their pyjamas or something spotty to celebrate Children in Need. The children danced along to a Children in Need action song on the smart board. There was spotty painting on offer in the art area. Some of the children also painted their own Pudsey Bear.
