23.01.2022 Our flexible daily routines enable us to meet the individual needs of each child. The individual needs for sleep and rest are crucial for a childs development. These 2 were super tired after a very stimulating morning of learning and physical activity with one not even making it to his bed ! A little rest and some down time enables children to reset and recharge for more learning challenges that await them in the afternoon...

23.01.2022 I love it when you walk into a learning environment and the children cannot wait to tell you and show you what they have been working on. The sense of pride in their faces is so rewarding to see. When children show a sense of pride or are told you are proud of them it encourages and supports a positive self esteem. Children see the good things about themselves and beleive in themselves. It gives children the courage to try and teaches them that good things happen when they do try.

22.01.2022 So much learning happened within this small group interaction... - socialising - role playing - negotiating ... - exploring language and literacy through reading books and communicating with peers - turn taking - patience - listening to and learning from others - concentration - collaboration - making friends And so much more... #learningthroughplay

12.01.2022 Today the children wanted to practice writing their names... Child-led play... How to follow your child’s lead in play... Start by noticing what your child is interested in. It could be something he’s playing with, like a ball, or something he’s doing, like jumping through puddles. Following your child’s lead is good because your child learns most when he’s interested in play. You don’t need any special equipment for child-led play. Child-led play starts with noticing what your child is interested in and then going along with it. Ask your child if you can join in. Go along with what your child is doing. If she rolls a ball to you, you might roll it back. Stay focused on the activity. Avoid distracting your child or changing the way the activity is happening. Ask questions or comment on what you’re both doing for example, ‘That was a big roll I nearly missed it!’ Give your child time to respond. If your child changes to something new, let him be the leader. For example, if he stops rolling the ball and starts playing with blocks, move to the blocks with him. #childledlearning
