New Snack Area

Our classroom is forever evolving. It changes with our topics but also as children grow and become more independent. This week our new snack area has opened. The children will now be serving themselves! They will open their own milk, pour their own water and serve their own food. They will be responsible for hygeine, manners and ensuring they have their snack before it closes. Initally this is all done with adult direction and encouragement and once they have cracked it the adult support will be removed.

How can you help? 

Encourage your child to eat at the table. Let them help you set and unset the table. Reinforce good manners. Encourage them to cut up their own dinner and use a knife/fork. Let them help your prepare the food. Talk about good hygiene and keeping healthy.
