Wilkins Room

Quick, it’s an emergency! The Wilkins children have been very busy in our hospital role play area this week. We have had sore knees, broken bones, sick mouths and all sorts of other medical emergencies to attend to. The children have been taking it in turns to be doctors, nurses and patients and have used a range of different medical tools to diagnose and help heal our sick patients.

 Ned’s got a sore knee, I’m going to give him a needle – Oscar

I’m holding a bandaid for him – Oliver

I’m doing the bandage – Lucy

All better – Will

Still sick - Ned

I’m sick in my mouth – Ollie

Sore knee – Abi

It’s a skeleton – Zöe (looking at x-rays)

We have also been playing with our toy frogs trying to get them to jump in and out of the pond, exploring writing and drawing using our name cards, looking at texture and sound using the bubble wrap, using pictures of buildings as inspiration for our own block building, working together to build train tracks, problem solving with puzzles and experimenting with different actions and poses that we can do with our bodies.

Best wishes,
Nicole, Kelly, Karla and Jess
