EXAMPLE OF ACTIVITIES
Painting and Drawing
​
These activities are always available and the children are able to choose their own medium - paint, crayons, etc. There is no right or wrong way of painting and drawing; the children are encouraged to express themselves freely and at first may simply wish to cover the paper with colour.
Water, Sand and Play Dough
​
Children find these fascinating and need not get in a mess in the process, as plastic aprons are provided. Their play allows the children to learn about the properties of liquids and solids.
Books
​
Books for all ages and levels of ability are available at all times for the children to handle and for adults to read to them.
Music
​
We have opportunities to share in the enjoyment of singing, music, movement, dancing, reciting and rhymes, and there is a selection of musical and percussion instruments available for the children to try.
Physical Activity
​
We have many large sit 'n' ride toys, rockers, bikes etc. for use in the garden, as well as a climbing frame, slide and swings. We also have a large variety of balls, bean bags, skipping ropes and other smaller toys to encourage hand/eye coordination and physical development, which we can use indoors or outdoors.
Craft
​
Cutting and gluing activities are messy, but they give the children the opportunity to experiment, to learn manipulation skills and discover shapes.
Home Corner and Imaginary Play
​
Various props, farms, garages, dolls furniture and dressing up clothes give the children the opportunity to act out imaginary situations based on real life.

​
These include Brio train, Duplo and Duplo tools to help develop manipualtion skills and basic mathematical concepts about shape and size.
