Motorbikes!

Another Dad offered to visit the setting and show us his families motortrail bikes!

 

We would like to thank Mr. Jo Leeming for bringing his trial bikes to the setting to show to the children. 

Although initially some children found them scary...especially when the bigger bike roared to life...the children were all persuaded to sit on first the little bike and then on the bigger bike (both on stands).  It was a long way up!  They then all had fun trying on the safety outfits – the gloves; bodysuit; helmets and glasses too.

 ...Thereafter...this short visit sparked a lot of different activities and learning opportunities.

We talked about

•  EAD/CL – loud and quiet noises....what other noises can you hear

• CL – language development – new words naming other vehicles – tricycles to juggernaut lorries

• M – Sizing vehicles, counting wheels (which has the most/least)

• UW – using ramps to make vehicles roll

• EA – Printing wheels.

SO.....

If YOU have an interesting job; an interest, a hobby, a skill, musical ability, or something YOU think that the children would find interesting and may learn something from, don’t be backward in coming forward – talk to Michele and Dawn without delay.

Your visit need only last 15 minutes.  We would be delighted to have your help!

 

Everyone has something to offer...

you could even come into the setting and read your favourite story!
