Blue Room 3 is our pre-school room for children aged around 36 to 48 months, designed to support growing independence, confidence and curiosity ahead of school.
In Blue Room 3, children can enjoy a wide range of activities and resources, including messy play, small world play, construction toys and a musical instrument area. These experiences encourage creativity, communication and hands-on learning every day
The aim in Blue Room 3 is to allow the children to develop their own independence and self-confidence whilst also building on their positive values. We believe children should be given as many opportunities in their day with us, to enable them to discover, experience, imagine, explore and question.
To focus on certain aspects of your child’s development, we have key areas in our room, from a mathematics area, to book corners, science and nature areas, language and literacy etc.
The children really enjoy both listening and using both spoken and written language, even using it in their very own play and learning; they use language showing imagination and recreating roles and experiences. This allows the children to form good relationships with both their peers and the adults that care for them. It also allows them to work as part of groups, and encourages both turn-taking and sharing fairly. This also allows them to develop their own cultural beliefs and recognise the beliefs of the children they are learning and playing with.
Activities are planned daily, with the activities focused on anything the children wish to engage with. The children are observed regularly so their next stages of development can be both planned and encouraged to give them the best possible start before school.
