Tomorrow is our last session at placement and a couple of days ago I was thinking about which learning experience worked really well.
Last week another girl and I made a sand foam activity where you mix clean sand and shaving foam together which creates a really fun sensory activity.
We also hid dinosaurs and horses in the foam as that what the children were interested in and they had lots of fun.
I asked the children if the foam was hot or cold and what it felt like so we could build up a list of describing words.
Looking back on your placement so far which activity was most fun for you/ the children and why?
Thats sounds like a very engaging activity. I've enjoyed all experiences during placement especially all the art based activities that incorporated natural materials such as leaves and plants. I also created an activity utilising the felt materials that our lecturers gave us as part of resources to be used. I traced the shapes of each felt piece and used my own coloured felt to cut out shapes in order to recreate a match the shape activity. I have learnt over the past 5 weeks of placement that the simplest activities can engage children far more than the most complicated.
