TIGGERS

Welcome to Tiggers!
 

We are between 18 and 26 months old.

Yes we can be a little unsociable but we don’t mean to be, its just that we're learning  to share! We can get around pretty quickly you know and that keeps our key people really fit.

We like to play with sand, water, paint everywhere, stick things not always on paper, climb, and test our emerging skills to the limit. We are open to new adventures, shaving foam, shredded paper and love nothing more than exploring in cardboard boxes.

Our key people have to make sure we stay safe while we attempt to climb Mount Everest but we have half carpet and half messy play surface so we cope quite well.

We sit at the table with our friends to eat and we are mimicking our friends and our nursery nurses. We hold a spoon and then a spoon and fork when we can, and it’s great to miss our mouths occasionally because it leaves such a mess, and mess can be fun too! 

We try to talk and sometimes its gibberish but we listen to everyone else, we have lovely stories read to us and when we play all our key people play too, so we can learn a lot from them. Sometimes they say really big words and we get to know the sounds – funnily enough we can always tell when they are cross too because their voices lose this sort of musical sound, and become a bit like lions!!! I think that’s only when we do something wrong though! We also love singing and dancing.

We are right next to the outdoor play area which is soft surfacing and we can roll around, so we go out ever such a lot and Melanie tells us fresh air is good for us even if it is sometimes a little cold! We can put our boots on and run around on the grass. We have this big huge hall and when all the climbing things are out boy do we enjoy it. Of course we have things to sit on and ride, push and pull.

Our key people keep development records and these follow us through the nursery. Our key people also observe us in play and make plans to enhance our play which encourages our different stages of learning.Tiggers room is a really busy area as we are changing from being babies to toddlers and so we are learning how to get on with each other, but also how to respect each other in peace if we need it.

We sleep on our own beds and music plays softly in the background. In fact we love this time too because it’s so quiet and restful.
