Play and Activities

 

Children play every day. Through play children learn many things about the world around them.
As a carer of children I understand the value of play and how it helps the children to learn.

 

 

This is a photograph of the finished planetary system

   

 

With the older children during the summer holidays we looked at the solar system. Everyday I provided a different activity.
One such activity: -      salt dough made into rough estimations of the nine planets and the children then painted them in the relevant colours. The planets were then placed in rough relationship to the sun. I was amazed how they absorbed the names and in which order the planets came.  

 
These photographs show some of the activities that the children have participated in.

 

 

    

This is my husband making a space ship for the children to play in as part of our space theme.
