Blocks: Rachel, I like how you use the questioning strategy with the children and I would do the same and encourage the child so we are controlling their play. Questioning is important so we give children the opportunity to think for themselves which allows them to make their own decisions about their play. I have blocks at my centre too, all sorts of different types and I have notice that the plain ones are a favourite. I agree there are many new designs of blocks corning out to enhance children’s learning and we do seem to go back to the basic wooden blocks. It is very interesting that smoorti points out that a wooden block is technology. Observing children during this activity is great because it can be very challenging for them to try and build something from looking at a 3d picture. Great reflection Rachel.

Books:

Firstly books are a great learning resource for children’s because not only does it help develop their language but also their imagination and creative thinking and gaining knowledge about books to children. Reading to children has lots of advantages and help them develop lifelong skills for example listening skills that is used in our everyday lives. I think it is important that we still continue to read to children while having a balance between the use of cd stories.

I love reading to children it really helps settle them when they want some quiet time or just arrived at the centre and miss their family but also broadens their thinking and imagination. Children also develop confidence and ability in expressing thoughts and feelings effectively and appropriately (Ministry of Education, 1996). I think it’s important for children so their basic skills are being met but knowing that they are learning while having fun.
