Fairy Houses
A popular activity this week has been using a mix of different materials to build fairy houses. We have had to think hard about what materials to use for the different parts of the house and how to balance and put the materials together. Every house was different. We talked about the different textures and materials and how to use them.

Acting out a story together
We had a breezy sunny afternoon outside today. The picture shows a group of children who were playing together, completely absorbed in their role play game. They had dressed up independently; given each other parts in the story; and found some crates and a wheel barrow as props. They took them to the farthest corner of the garden where we have a large willow igloo and set up home.
They hardly noticed the adult taking pictures at all, and chattered away to each other, suggesting what would happen next and rearranging the props for each stage in the story, taking turns and listening and building on each others ideas.
We love to observe this sort of play in Early Years. When the children work together like this they are negotiating roles and agreeing ways to work together. They learn the skills to socialise and cooperate with their friends, how to respect the decisions of others and not always have their own way. These are all real foundations for them in the future.
