We have started Pop-Up Play. The children were beside themselves with excitement on the way to the Rec Reserve today. We have been preparing the children for our first session by reading last years groups photo book. We also believe that it is important for children to participate in the setting up of their play. So yesterday we took the children over with a bus load of materials to help us set up. There were lots of giggles as they were piling the boxes onto the bus. When we had set up we walked around our ‘boundary’ and talked about our rules. They were so ready for a wonderful day.
We made box houses and lots of other box things. We made obstacle courses with tyres and planks. We share picnic food and a story in the warm sunshine. It was wonderful to see children playing with others they had not played with all year. Pop-up play is great for building relationships. And after a tiring day- there were children who wondered where we were going on the bus to go home! We were so busy and the time flew. See you next week Pop-up Play.
