We worked together to record which was the most popular pet and the answer is - CATS. We do help with this however in that we have three of our own!!We visited the duck pond this morning. Whilst we were on the bridge, the older children started to explore which items floated and which sank. Into the water they threw leaves, sticks, catkins, flowers and stones to discover for themselves. This was a completely self-chosen activity which provided an opportunity for 'exploration and investigation', which is an area of learning within the 'Knowledge and Understanding of the World' area of the EYFS.
Children learn best and focus more intently on an activity if they choose it themselves - we as childminders and you as parents are there to provide opportunities and resources to enable them to do this.
We also fed the ducks, although there weren't very many about today, and we collected dandelions and were able to find the first dandelion clocks of the year.
