1st Week Back

We have been doing loads of exploring this week exploring the new room and toys.
Playing with the little pegs.

Playing in the exploring area. "Finding treasure"

Drawing and using collage for self-portraits.

Making treasure maps.

Our New Room

We have some new changes to our environment.

Construct- This is an area where we can explore our problem solving skills with a range of different building materials and surfaces.

Create - An area where our creativity and imagination can run wild. We can now make our own display......watch this space to see what develops.

Explore - an area that ignites our curiosity. We can find out further about a proffered topic. All of the resources that are made available are there too encourage independence.


We have added a few new items in our role play area,
New washing machine door
New plates and cups
And a new table.

We still have our choosing shelf and book shelf. Heuristic baskets are on the bottom shelf. Resources catering for our particular interests on the middle shelf and any areas of development that we are focusing on is an addition on the top shelf. 

Book corner - we now have a cosier corner where we can relax and explore a wide variety of books. If it all gets too much we have individual quiet tasks in baskets.

Changeable role-play - this area will evolve with our interests. From a post office, Doctors Surgery to a Cake Shop. Watch this space to see what's next.
