***Happy Birthday***
We love to see our children using their experiences and acting them out in their play. In this video two girls have made a playdough cake, positioned their baby on the 'birthday chair' and sang 'Happy Birthday' to them. The play continued with baby blowing out the candles, cutting the cake and then playing pass the parcel.
We provide an environment where the children can gather resources with their friends and act out scenarios like this. The children used a wide variety of language, negotiated what they would do and and shared their experiences of the world. Through their imaginative play the children could explore all areas of learning and with modelling of language by adults such as, "I wonder what presents baby might have?" their play developed even further. Children need time, space, a well resourced environment and knowledgeable staff to explore these valuable play experiences are. Pop along to see what we can offer your child.
