Hello Mead
families and friends,
Welcome to
the Mead room office!
In response
to the children enjoying play in the workshop with a variety of old
keyboards and laptops; we have set up an office in our own classroom that
consists of keyboards, telephones, pens and paper.
The children
showed an immediate interest in “going to work” and “working in the office”.
Tom D – “I at
work, I calling mum”
Mikayla –
“I’m just doing some writing”
Flynn
– “Tap, tap; I typing”
James
– “I’m at work in my office”
Paige
– “I’m busy working, I’m on the phone”
Danica
– “I do work here”
As the
children have been ‘typing’ on the keyboards, we have heard lots of
conversations about the letters that they can see.
Tom D
– “It’s a ‘T’ for Tom”
James
– “I know ‘P’, ‘P’ for Paige”
Samuel
H – “Look it’s ‘S’ for Sam”
Danica
– “’D’ for Danica”
To
further support these observations, we have added alphabet letter cutters for
the children to use will manipulating the play –doh. We will strongly encourage
lots of conversations about all the different letters of the alphabet and name
recognition.
We
hope you have a lovely weekend and we wish Melissa Prest a speedy recovery.
Miss
Elodie and Mrs Nacca
