This week in Foundation Stage the children have been participating in circle and group time activities with a focus on developing their personal, social and emotional skills. During these activities the children have played name games to get to know each other and talked about their family. It was lovely to see the children’s enjoyment when playing a number version of the game duck-duck goose.
We have started to introduce a time in the afternoon for the children to start planning their own independent learning and talking about it with a friend. This has made the children’s play more purposeful and through adult questioning and interactions, the children have developed their thinking, sharing and imaginative skills.
The children were very enthusiastic about trying on their PE kits and taking part in their first school PE session where they explore different ways of moving and finding a sensible space of their own.
