Yesterday foundation stage children were combining the traditional and the new in their learning.
IPAD technology was being used in a number of different ways, with the children demonstrating great confidence and ability to experiment. At the same time the traditional use of water and sand was equally bringing out the same creativity and confidence.
The examples of sharing, working and playing together were so evident in each activity and it was clear that everyone was certainly putting into practice our reflections on patience and kindness!
The really encouraging thing was that the technology had not removed the discussion and excitement that is always so evident in our foundation base. Different tools, but the same important communication skills and the willingness to learn and adapt through experience. In terms of new technology, that goes for the members of staff as well!
