Personal, social and emotional development


This week we are looking at the area of Personal, Social and emotional development.  This supports children’s development by helping them interact effectively with others and develop positive attitudes towards others and about themselves.  Here are some helpful activities you can do at home to support this area of development:
  • ·         Personal development (Being me) – how we come to understand who we are and what we can do, how we look after ourselves.
·         Social development (Being social) – how we come to understand ourselves in relation to others, how we make friends, understand the rules of society and behave towards others.

·         Emotional development (Having feelings) – how we come to understand our own and others’ feelings and develop our ability to ‘stand in someone else’s shoes’ and see things from their point of view, referred to as empathy.

Creating Emotions sensory bottles may support your child begin and develop how they are feeling and that some words and actions can hurt others.
Asking children to carry out a small job around the house will support:
·         sense of belonging
·         sense of achievement
·         Self-confidence
·         Self-esteem

THANK YOU
Ready, Steady, Go games create situations where children have to begin to accept waiting their turn and share resources.

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   T his week we have been counting down the days waiting for the eggs to hatch.  We now need to wait 14 sleeps (approximately). Today we had a visit from some lambs and the children from both classes had an opportunity to meet them. Class 2 have some new tadpoles and the children have been watching them eat the lettuce we have fed them.  Earlier in the week, some of the children found mint in the garden and wanted to use it in the mud kitchen.  We then provided some mint in the classroom for the children to explore with scissors and mix with various media.  The children have been making pirate maps using teabags and using chalks to make marks in the garden.  We experimented with raisins and sparkling water to make the raisins dance and the children have worked together to make a river in the sand pit.  On Monday we went to the school hall for music and movement and we have spent a lot of time...

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   Tonight is our Disco, tickets are still available on the door.   All money raised will help towards the improvement of Class 1's garden! We have continued to count down the days for the eggs to hatch.  We now have just 7 sleeps (approximately)! In Class 2 we climbed a ladder at Forest school and explored all of the new growth.  The children have been experimenting by mixing cornflour and water, then later in the week custard power and water.  We have started the cake station this week and the children have been adding their name to the waiting list, using their name label as guidance.  We have used the tap tap shapes to make pictures and putting together puzzles.  It has been very wet this week and we used powder paint to mix with the rain water and made pictures using the brooms.   In Class 1 the children have been exploring messy play with the shaving foam and the sand....
