Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hello, i have to do a display for parents on the value of why we do what we do - we are trying to teach parents. we trying to provide parents with information about their children's learning and development. my question: im looking for definitions on different areas: eg: home corner outside play dressing up/home corner creative/messy play construction book corner i am provide lots of photo's of their children doing these activities to support the definitions so parents can and hopefully have an understanding of the benefits. trying to work with parents. i have done creative/messy play and outside play - (hopefully i attached mine correctly :-) just wondering if anyone else has done this and is willing to share their definitions! thank you OUTDOOR__PLAY_defination.doc Dressing_up_defination.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 found this definition-outdoor play I put into google search "definition-outdoor play" Your sheets are similar to the continuous provision ones (but more basic to just the definition and not as comprehensive with learning outcomes etc). Good user friendly introduction for parents. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 found this about the book area but then lost the page to do a link The Book Corner If we provide the opportunity for children to enjoy books from an early age they will be encouraged to become motivated readers and will: find enjoyment and excitement in books develop their imagination retell familiar stories develop and extend their language skills use the pictures to help tell a story increase and improve their listening abilities hold the book the correct way become confident in talking to a small group about a book turn the pages one at a time and from right to left know which words go from left to right and from top to bottom begin to recognise some words and letters care for and handle books properly The book corner is a place where children can be quiet and comfortable, relax and feel secure. Peggy p.s. hope these all help, I enjoyed looking them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Marion, I really think that you should be given some sort of honorary title on this forum, in recognition of your ability to find a website (or at LEAST one) for every occasion - how DO you do it? Your memory must be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have to confess the Y6 teacher calls me Dumbo because I have a memory like an elephant (hope it's not my ears) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 TASMANIA , you do go far afield in your research Marion. Great posters, and having had a quick scan read of the site, quite interesting to see how other countries early years care/education is provided. They only have 56 'markers' for their kindergarten development check, compared to our EYFS. Interesting reading. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 My first MA assignment was comparing various Early Years Curricular so that gem went into my favourites and popped back out last year when we were redoing our CP displays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
