Box Clever at IEYC and LNS
We are continuing to use the Box Clever approach to support the development of children’s knowledge and use of vocabulary. We are using topics which have come from the children and are already being explored in the floor books.
Each box clever focus lasts for a month, the first week are naming words (fish, seaweed), the second describing words (orange, slimy) and the third week action words (swimming)and during the fourth week the words are put together to create meaningful sentences(the orange fish is swimming in the slimy seaweed)

Children are exposed to the vocabulary through displays of pictures and objects used to provoke discussion.
