In our setting, we encourage children to use all forms of communication.
Makaton is one of the ways you can encourage children to communicate with gestures as they learn words.
Therefore, we have begun teaching the children a new sign each week. This week our sign is for ‘more please.’
This is Flora, our setting owner, demonstrating this weeks sign. We encourage you to practice this at home with the children. Look out for another one next week.
The sounds of the children, aren't always loud, with big creations. The curious silence is so loud you can hear the children thinking.
I just sat back and watched. Curious at how they would play. Looking for schemas and next steps.
In the background you can hear Chelsea and 2 other little ones curious in in the sounds of our musical instruments.
No pressure too move on, do it an adults way. Pilots in their on play and learning 😍😍😍

Creating and making their own puddles 😍😍
The children used the outdoor tap to fill up containers and then explored making puddles on the grass. All completely child led. Ps I apologise for my high pitched voice haha
