Responsive Planning
Beach Schools we responded to Murray’s love of baked beans. We had a fire at the beach toasting bread to make toast and cooking beans on the fire. The children collected stones to create their safety circle around the fire and collected sea water to put out the fire once we had finished ☀️🌊😋
The babies experienced this mornings weather using the wind and rain to engage with nature 💨🌧️
-Mark making with rain 💦
-Flying kites 🪁
-Watching the trees blow 🌳
-Making weather sounds using loose parts 🔉
-Running with and against the wind🏃
The Froebelian Approach-“ They experience all sorts of weather, wind, rain, cold and heat. These opportunities and challenges help children become healthier, stronger and more agile”
We welcomed Ace, Ehra and Lochlan’s new puppy! We celebrated the new addition by having a puppy party! With snacks for the children and for the puppy! Ehra made special puppets for her friends to play with and we listened to puppy songs on the speaker! 🐶🐾
Responding to Opei’s love of dinosaurs we headed out on a Dino Hunt in the forest 🦖
We explored all of the different hiding places that the forest provided, using our team work skills to make sure we found all of the dinosaurs.
“Dinosaurs are my favourite” – Matthew
“This was actually so fun” – Opei
“I love going on dinosaur hunts” – Sophie
Responding to both Otto and Willow’s love of Bute-fest we recreated this event at nursery. Providing Otto’s favourite snack from the festival “the sausages” and Willow a stage to perform for her friends “now this is a party” . 🎶🌭
EXA 0-01a – I have experienced the energy and excitement of performing for audiences and being part of an audience for other peoples performances.
What an super experience our toddlers had today, as they were supporting our local community annual event at the ✨Agricultural show ✨with two of our staff members, Leigha and Ellie in attendance representing their livestock!
The children loved having the opportunity to meet the different animals and providing Vinnie a unique experience to take part with showing the calf with Leigha in response to his HUGE love for cows!
In response to Nola appreciating the staff making her snack on the fire, Nola said ‘ I’m making raspberry cupcakes for everyone!’ 🧁
Initially Nola made her cakes in the outdoor mud kitchen, using pink flowers and leaves, then progressed to making real cupcakes with ‘real raspberrys on the top’
Thank you Nola for the lovely gesture and delicious cakes🧁😋
