Today was very interesting because I was able to see how structured activities in a special purpose built playroom. That is how the curriculum for excellence works at the early level -with a mixture of the home corner and other learning activities throughout the day. I was reminded again about the importance of planning carefully. If you plan well - everything goes smoothly because: you can prepare your learning materials before hand and also avoid  problems if every child is engrossed in an interesting and worthwhile activity.

At the writing table was a huge pile of workcards which were laminated pictures of ice cream cones ,snails,

frogs etc for the children to trace over with a pencil or pen.This was my example of art in the curriculum today.
