We are extra lucky being in Loveday’s class this year as we now have two classrooms – we are making great use of both areas.  Our additional classroom is now our play space! We use our play space for so many learning opportunities through play; we are developing strong trusting relationships with the adults and our friends, this gives us the sense of feeling safe and special through our play and interactions.

There are many areas in the play space to explore; this includes a sand and water, construction, role play, small world, mark making and malleable area. With our curiosity we move around to explore the areas independently giving us a wider range of experiences. When we initiate the play we are using our sight, touch and sound to make sense of what we are exploring. We develop persistence to try and try again, especially when using our fine motor skills. We discover we can do something new; at times with our peers, that causes realisation, surprise and excitement and we take interest in the results of our actions.  While our engagement builds we have opportunities for fun, pleasure and enjoyment and we focus for longer periods of time; becoming engrossed in our play. As time goes on we will develop in our sense of awareness and play skills, we look forward to showing you our progression in the future!

Thank you for checking in on us, see you next week! Loveday and team
