Hi,
As recommended the timing of planning may help you identify the type of learning you're needing now.
PSRN can be found in so many if not all & any activities, writer's block has a great deal to answer for
xx
If you look at the
psrn area of learning, get to know how the activities and resources/toys that you provide fit in with those aims.
A few more obvious activity ideas for psrn could be
- Jigsaws
- Interlocking bricks build up and out
- Filling and emptying explores quantity, measurement mathmatical language - with loose media play eg, soil, sand, water and scooping/collection tools, including tea sets, cooking pots, buckets, tractor trailers
- Sorting - shapes / colour / size / pieces /same / different / other attribute - taste, smell, sound, touch - squishy / hard / cold / prickly / smooth ..
- Counting beanbag tossing, ball and pin type games, stepping stones, tape measures, fingers - two little digit birds, sitting on a wall .. display decorations.
- Tying up, knotting, threading looks at length, sequence, strength, height, reason & aim as well as number & pattern.
- Books that focus on numbers, quantity/amounts.
&
- numbers as text in the environment numbers that id things - house numbers, vechile number & letter combinations, tickets for parking/venue entrance, payments - bills, shopping with coins ..
- Pattern making, sequence & processes
- Scales for weighing foods, loose media - luggage scales are good for bags on the go
- Timers for measurement - stop watch, sand timers, alarm clock, digital camera provide picture evidence of time, pushing movements on sit & rides, steps to reach a pre-determined place ..
- Clothing for dress up can be seen as creative but also explores fit, size, fastenings.
- Play tunnels explore size, whole body & watching others in positioning, above, below, in, out, space & measurement - & involves the other areas of learning.
If you feel it helps post what interest your littlies have at the moment, anything from a rhyme parents are singing at home, an action they're enjoying, tv programme or a particular toy ..
I hope this helps a little xx
