Dramatic Play Centre

 

The centre has been changed and is now all set up for the post office. This new centre will promote writing and drawing from the children. It will also give them an opportunity to expand their vocabulary through their oral communications. During play at this centre the children learn to role play, take turns, share with others and self-regulation. Self-regulation is where the children have determined how many children can be in the centre at one time. This allows them to know if they are able to enter the centre or not. I observe the children counting the number of children in the centre.

 

Some children want to participate in this centre all the time. Sometimes they need my encouragement to participate in other centres in order to enhance their learning in other areas and centres.

 

We have the mailbox which the children painted red, and I placed a postal logo on the mailbox. One of the parents donated labels and envelopes. I purchased fancy paper, bigger envelopes, stickers. I made two small mailbags with the postal logo on them and downloaded stamps for the children to use. The children will be very excited and it is very fitting to have it for the month of February, with Valentines Day.

 

Any other donations to the centre would be greatly appreciated.
