Circle time is a very important part of our day in Nursery/Reception 2. It’s where we all come together, say hello and find out what the morning/afternoon has in store.
The children are really enjoying our new daily rhyme which has opportunities for the children to use all their senses as we introduce the day. It’s lovely to see lots of interest and curiosity as the the children explore. Vocalising, tapping the tambourine/drum and learning to press a switch are also part of our routine as the children build upon their social skills and communication. Time to look in the mirror and at photographs is also built in to this time, where appropriate. Alongside our timetable symbols we use objects of reference to touch and feel to help the children understand what is going to happen next.
This fun, routine activity is helping the children become more confident and aware of themselves and their friends – we are seeing great progress!
We hope you enjoy the photographs – Coralie and team.
Finding ‘me’ in the mirror
Enjoying the guitar as we sing
Learning to ‘look’ to find my own photograph
Pressing the switch to say “hello”
‘Call and response’ using the tambourine
Looking at the symbol and the spoon for lunchtime
Feeling the beat and vibrations of the drum
