This week at Inveralmond Early Years the children have been exploring the outdoor environment and  discussing the changes in weather we have had. We have been busy creating and flying our own kites in the wind and we have been exploring the ice and snow, discussing what patterns we can see. Some children have enjoyed jumping in the muddy puddles and playing in the snow!

We have been discussing different types of animals and where they are from in the world, finding facts from books and maps. The children have been role playing with the small world and the different animals in the play room. The children have also been developing their mathematical skills by taking part and playing a variety of animal games including puzzles and bingo. Some children have been developing their literacy skills too, joining  in with games and using the laptop practicing their letters and words.
