Mud Island Madness!
During the summer holidays, Year One had a fence installed. It meant that we were left with a small area of bark and we wasn't really sure what to do with it. We asked the children and they came up with the idea of creating 'Mud Island'
We used resources which we already had in the school but in a new way.
The imaginative play which came from the children was wonderful!! We had jungles, swamps, poisonous snake world... it went on and on!
We are continuing to build on this area, following the children's ideas
The Importance of Pretend Play
Pretend play allows children to experiment with and learn about the power of language, how it affects us and those around us. It also helps them to understand that words give us the means to re-enact situations, to put our point across and to make ourselves heard and understood.
