Den Building

What can we use to make a den?

 Playing and Exploring

Finding out and exploring

·        Engaging in open-ended activity

·        Showing particular interests

·        Showing curiosity about objects

 Being willing to ‘have a go’

·        Showing a ‘can do’ attitude

·        Taking a risk, engaging in new experiences, and learning by trial and error (when the tent fell down, the children worked together to build it back up)

Intent

Individual next step:  PSED: Making relationships with new children now his other friends have left to go to school:

Implementation

Following the child’s interest Steph used ‘Bugs’ as a focus to encourage children to form relationships and work together. A Bug Hunt took place outside in the garden.

Impact

 Wow!  Steph heard some wonderful conversations between the children about eggs, slugs and worms. They discussed what they could see using some very good descriptive language.  

Walking through the jungle

 Intent - To help settle new children into Nursery life 

Implementation: From the 'All about me' documents some of the children enjoy singing 

Jungle walk outside: singing and acting out 'Walking through the jungle, what do you see?' 

We were monkeys, elephants, lions, crocodiles and snakes 

This is the book 'Walking through the jungle' 

Impact 

The child who was upset soon became engaged in the activity with a small number of other children. After a few times round the garden all the children came over to join in, showing enthusiasm when shouting out the next animal to act out.
