This week the children and families of EY1 and EY2 celebrated with a showcase of their physical skills and the multi-faceted role that movement plays in their development.

The World of Learning

We often see the children exploring the language of dance to inspire thinking, learning and discovery.

In our team meeting this week the teachers reflected on and discussed the possibilities afforded by our outdoor space. There seems to be a strong pull towards working outside from the adults and the children.

“We are going to do some singing. All the boys and all the girls are going to sing Jingle Bells, Up on the House Top, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Ms. Dickson is going to play the piano. All the teachers and mums and dads are going to sing and the big sisters and big brothers are going to sing with us.”

I have had the pleasure of watching as the children have recently enjoyed engaging in several sensory explorations, such as blowing bubbles, exploring lights and accessing a variety of different textured materials.
