Marvelous Mud
After creating the Mud Islands with some of the children, it inspired others to continue to build on the area and use it in a new way.
These wonderful children spent a long time planning and discussing how to create their restaurant. They resourced everything they needed from the Year One area. They had the ovens at the back, serving tables to the side, an entrance and a wall. They even thought about how to make it safe so the wall (palette) didn't fall. It was amazing to observe these conversations and problem solving skills taking place!
One of my favourite parts that shows just how much the children take in, was when they shut the restaurant due to covid but set up a drive through so they could still serve food. Below you can see someone in their 'car' being served over the counter.
This is such a lovely example of children using play to make sense of the world around them.
