The Nest

This week we have continued exploring spring flowers using our senses. The children have enjoyed exploring the different areas of the room developing their physical and social skills.

Playing and Exploring/Active learning

Children have particularly enjoyed using their skills to stack objects and place objects on pegs both on their own and turn taking with friends. The musical instruments have been popular with all children we have been exploring sounds by playing the instruments and also using various objects found in the room to bang and tap to create different sounds. The home corner has also been a very popular area children have been pretending to feed the dolls and also give each other food.

Communication and Language 

Children have been taking part in daily group sessions to sing and move to familiar songs. Children are showing lots of interest in exploring books, looking at them independently and also sharing stories with adults.

Early childhood marks, such as sand patterns and brush strokes, are crucial for literacy, creativity, and foundational skills in early childhood development.

Physical Development
