The children have been fascinated by dinosaurs this week and it has been the focus for a lot of the imaginative play. There have been lots of chasing games where the educators have been encouraged to act out the role of dinosaurs chasing the children!
With all this dinosaur fun, the children were also interested in our small world dinosaur toys. This developed into a game where the educators would hide the dinosaurs and then the children would have to find them and then work together to retrieve them. Sometimes the dinosaurs were stuck in the trees so the children would have to think how to rescue them. They managed to work out that if they stacked some logs maybe then one of them would be able to reach up and save the dinosaur! It was lovely to see the collaboration and working together to carry the heavy logs into place. The children all celebrated together each time they were successful!
