Free play
Free play will be in the play room, we will have a book centre, Dramatic area with a kitchen and dolls, dress- up clothes, shelf toys such as blocks, a castle and other interesting toys.

Children can feel free to play wherever they want to, with their friends, as long as we clean up any messes we make along the way.

Sensory and Science Activities
Sensory & Science Activities will be set up as well. For sensory I will put out things such as sand, water, feathers, pasta and cheerios, and playdoh; these are all things that can help a child to learn about touch, taste, and smell.

For Science we look at pretend bugs under a magnifying glass and collect leaves and pine cones on our nature walk.

I will always try to keep learning interesting and fun.
