Two wonderful boxes packed full of ideas for learning. Alistair has a wonderful and unique flair for understanding children’s interest and how to motivate them. Try reflecting on what you would do if you found a giant egg or how you would make tiny jam tarts and letters for fairies. Imagine following fairy footprints to a woodland scene complete with a camp fire and a table set for tea. Picture the children’s faces as they dig up a huge bone, possibly from a T-Rex! There’s so much potential for rich language and mark making.

When learning to communicate, children need someone to talk to and something to talk about. Having a shared interest helps focus the communication around the item being discussed and allows whoever is involved to know what is being discussed. It provides opportunities for new vocabulary development and a chance to use existing vocabulary in a shared context.
