In the Infant Classroom we like to learn through play as much as possible. This week our theme is School. There are 4 stations in the room with a different activity at each one and the children swap tables each day.
Here we have the children doing socio-dramatic play. They take it in turns to be the teacher and the other children are the pupils. They are working on drama and oral language skills, and exploring jobs in our local community (teachers) which links with SESE. Depending on the activities their new teachers give them they are also practicing writing, reading and maths skills!
The construction station is loads of fun and the children are working together to build a schools. They are developing communication skills, fine motor skills and creative thinking.

The playdough station works on fine motor skills and creative thinking too. The children are making people or things they see at school. This also ties in with SESE as well as working on spatial awareness.

We are also exploring Autumn at the moment in school! The leaves are changing colour and we are using these colours to make prints from different materials. This links again with SESE, fine motor skills, art, and oral language skills, as well as being lots of fun and messy! We are covering pages in our Autumn prints and cutting leaves from them to decorate our SESE tree!
