Children learn who they are through relationships with others.

A child came into nursery and created this drawing while discussing his experience at the remembrance day ceremony at the weekend making links to community and real life experiences.

Two of our pre school children spent a long time building a junk model together today. B said “it’s a playtime factory, it’s so big we ran out of masking tape” M said “we use sellotape and box to make a house”.

We can be creative with 3D objects

Our children have been choosing what they would like to learn to do next! “Children learn best by doing things for themselves and from becoming more aware of their own learning” - Froebel 🌻

Weaving is a Froebelian Occupation. It fosters hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, further supporting mark making and writing. Weaving can also be taken outside, using fences or branches as the ‘loom’ and other natural materials as the ‘threads’.
