Playing Houses

Emily has been enjoying making houses during learn through play. She will carefully stack wooden blocks on top of each other to create the walls, making sure that she leaves an opening for the door.  She then sets her house up with tables and chairs and books to read. 

It has been wonderful to see how many visitors Emily has been getting. Her peers pretend to knock on the door and Emily calls "Come in". They may stay for a cup of tea or a biscuit which Emily pretends to make and sometimes even a story. At the end of the visit, Emily and her friends wave goodbye to each other. There is a lot of role playing and socialising occuring and Emily is enjoying her learning very much.
