Pancakes

 The children have come back full of enthusiasm. They have been asking me to make a salon for a while so we have combined the salon with the nail bar. Many people may think that this does not support gender balance but I can assure you that this role play area is equally accessed by all the children in the setting. We have observed the interactions in the area, focusing mainly on the children's communication and social skills. They have been amazing problem solving and sharing resources. The adults have supported the children in this area through questioning and most importantly suggestions. The children are supported in resolving problems during play and the adults have monitored this and only intervened when it moved the learning forward. We are so lucky to be able to watch the learning that can happen through a creative environment that is well resourced.

On Tuesday we celebrated Pancake Day. The children had a go at tossing the pancake up in the air which was lots of fun. They eventually got the opportunity to eat them and they were delicious.

Thursday, 2nd March is World Book Day. This year children do not have to dress up but can come to school in their pyjamas. However, if you have already purchased an outfit of a book character they can wear this instead. We would like all children to bring in their favourite book on the day.

Have a good weekend.
