Week commencing 14th June 2021 - Lindfield.

Welcome to our blog.

This week our focus was on Personal, Social and Emotional Development - Making Relationships.

We observed ...

*How the children play and link up with other.

*Can they initiate play, offering cues for others?

*Do they demonstrate friendly behaviour?

*Do they show affection and concern for the people who are special to them?

We have also focussed on kindness this week - we talked about having kind hands and using kind words - treating people nicely and being aware of how people may feel when someone is unkind to them.

We have noticed a shift in some childrens behaviour over the last few weeks, play is becoming increasingly boisterous and while we celebrate all types of play we have to ensure the safety of all children in the setting and have been encouraging this type of play outdoors.

We have worked very hard this week to remember our manners too.

We know the Makaton signs for Please and Thank you. If you ask the children, they might show you.

We did a very cool experiment linked to kindness with some apples.

We looked carefully at two apples.

With one apple we spoke kindly to it, gave it compliments and treated it well.

"You are a nice apple."

"You are beautiful."

"I love you apple."
