And, not only chocolate. On egg-hunt day, we also had another treat – hot chips!! Sadly no photos of this as the delicious chips were all eaten before we could even pick up the camera … they loved them!
Dress-up day for Easter was a big hit. We know how much the children love role-play and what a big part pretend play means to learning and development.
For months we have watched the children as they explore acting out what it is like to be doctors, mummy and daddy, builders, a truck or train driver and many more. They stage tea parties and baking, washing babies and doing each other’s hair.
So, we weren’t surprised to see a wide range of super-heroes and princesses, unicorns, wild animals or butterflies on dress-up day.
The children have made the most of any chance for spontaneous play. We have noticed lots of new friendships forming and increased communication as the children explore and navigate friendships and group play.
We also noticed some children seem to be talking about their new friends at home. So, if you would like to plan some play dates with your child’s classmates, please talk to their Room Teacher and we can pass your information onto the families.
