Well we did it! We made it through our first week back! I have to say the children amazed me, they settled back into our routine with ease!
We have spent the week observing, and listening to see what the children are doing and talking about. We have introduced some new activities, and toys in to the environment to see if they spark some good questions.
yesterday we had our first big group interest! 3 of our boys were building cars with the mobilo on the carpet. After they had designed and built their cars they started racing them around the room. I had to intervene to tell them running around the room wasn't safe, I then asked them where they thought a safe place to race their cars would be.
After some discussion and debate we came up with making a racetrack and taking it in to the hall.
Below are some photos of the racetrack they designed, and the cars they built to race! We were also out there today! Under students work I will post the entire process, and describe what skills they developed! it was play based learning at its finest!
Have a wonderful weekend!
