Creative and Imaginative role play 

Lovely to see the children excited about the snow on Thursday!

They enjoyed making hand and foot prints and watched the snow melt. 

We talked about where snow comes  from and what animals live in snowy countries, we pretended to be penguins which was hilarious!! 

Children at both settings enjoyed pancakes this week, they learnt that we need, eggs, flour and milk for the ingredients. They took turns to take part by scooping and counting spoonfuls of flour and using the whisk to mix the mixture and there was some good thinking about how we could make the mixture running by adding milk.  Unfortunately Jo attempted to flip the very first pancake which fell to the floor!....the disappointment on their faces!  Luckily we had made made plenty of mixture so after another go she managed to get it in the pan...yay!  

Some were made for role play so the children were able to have a go too.

Lovely to see some new faces at the ‘Broadway’ setting.  With a little support they settled well and followed the routine.

The children at Towerview setting noticed that the role play area had been rearranged and showed a renewed interest in the area. Children were observed sitting together on the sofa engaging in conversation with one another .Children played cooperatively as part of a group as well as playing independently engrossed in their own imaginative role play. Resources had been sorted and made easier for the children to access making play more creative through the props they chose to support their role play.

There was lots of creativity and focus with the play dough this week.  Lots of gross and fine motor skills were in use, and the blob monsters were really good.

Unfortunately on Friday we all got ourselves ready but it was too windy to go into our Forest school site. So instead we enjoyed some physical activities on the school field, the children spent time rolling, walking and running through the long grass as we went on a ‘Bear hunt’.
