Guest Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 WOW....what a day! Tuesday the children started playing hospitals in the home-corner so staff acted on their interest and added resources to enhance their learning in this area, this included a bed, plasters, bandages, setting up the reception area etc. Yesterday that bed then changed into a pirates ship, as the bed wasn't really big enough for about 12 children we then changed that over for the 2 small climbing frames from outside to make a bigger pirate ship. We then made treasure maps, pirates hats and got the face painting out. We then spent the rest of the afternoon playing pirates, talking in 'pirate' and singing to "when I was one"etc.....it was fun but at the end of the session staff just collasped...we were 1 member of staff down for the session and boy did we notice it. I've attached a picture of the pirates just before they set of on a long journey!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_64 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That looks great fun. I'm sure the children got so much out of the activities! I'm not sure about children keeping us young - sometimes their energy can make you feel ancient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_4495 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That looks like so much fun - and I bet the staff wouldn't necessarily have come up with that idea? (Not taking anything away from your staff, of course!) Isn't it so much nicer when the children lead things - even if it means changing the home corner every day and staff being shattered by the end of the day - at least you can go home with a big smile on your face knowing that you have helped the children have a fun-filled day!

AnonyMouse_705 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sounds exhausting but very satisfying - oh and the children will have enjoyed their higher level learning too! Count me in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
