January has been the perfect month to explore winter and our ‘County of the Month’, Iceland, especially with all the snow we have had! We have incorporated these themes into our daily activities and the Goslings have really enjoyed being curious and investigating the snow further. Not only did we get the chance to play in the snow outside, but we also transferred the snow into our indoor play. The snow was added to the tuff tray along with powdered paint where we were able to use sticks to create marks and mix the colours together. We discussed the colours that had been added and then identified the new ones as they changed when we mixed them. We were also able to talk about whether the snow was warm or cold and what it felt like when we touched it. The Goslings have been exploring our interpretation of the Blue Lagoon, which is located in Iceland, and we found the children were very engaged in this activity due to their interest in water play. We showed the children real life pictures of the Blue Lagoon and we were able to implement this by creating blue water and using shaving foam for the snowy mountains. This month we have been focusing on promoting kindness and sharing with one another by using a lot of positive reinforcement, along with visual picture cards, hand gestures and actions. We have noticed that in OUR activities, the Goslings have been doing a lovely job in sharing and taking turn
