C.  What are the children are learning about this week?

The theme this week is Easter

Our youngest children, in our two year old class, will be learning about Easter through decorating egg baskets. They will use fine motor skills to decorate simple baskets and bring home an egg from the Easter Bunny. We will be encouraging the children to bring their egg baskets home, so that they can show their families what they have made.

The older children will be working in small groups to take part in an Easter egg hunt around the garden. They will search high and low while outside, to find a chocolate egg that the Easter Bunny has left just for them. When each child has found an egg, they will come to sit with their friends where they can eat their treasured find.

The learning intentions this week are for the children to be able to use language to recall past experiences that are important to them and to have a positive sense of self when sharing these experiences. To achieve these outcomes, staff will use books and other resources to teach about milestone events, such as birthdays or celebrations. Staff will support child led conversations to promote the sharing of experiences. Staff will continue these conversations in age appropriate ways by questioning and sharing their own memories as they talk. Through having these positive interactions with children, we are boosting their self-esteem and confidence.
