The week’s theme had now changed to learning about seasons. The children were learning about the four seasons and what whether occurs in all of them.
We were all sat around the carpet, whilst one practitioner asked the children what they would like to do. The majority of children led towards something being played on the computer. Therefore she put on a sing a long song for the children explaining the seasons. As she was putting it on a four year old boy (B) turned around and said to me “Winter is snow and summer is sun!” and smiled.
We then went on during the day, doing Montessori activities based on what the children wanted to play with and learn. Surprisingly some of the children chose to learn about seasons and were interest in finding out more.
