Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 We have done a topic on how things work. This is great for getting in your ICT. We had remote control cars, remote control dinosaurs, telephones, toy microwaves, toy kettle etc. We also purchased a load of disposable cameras. The children were allowed to take photos of what they wanted in the setting. We then had them developed and made them into a book for the book corner.

Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) Thanks for that Brenda. Along those lines, I had a discussion with my manager today about the evaporation experiment I have been trying to plan. I told her of my concerns regarding the use of a kettle in the room with the children. She shrugged her shoulders and said if the children don't learn about them and don't see one 'close up in action', then they will never know about them, which will be even more dangerous than having a kettle in the room, supervised. Well, when you put it like that... Just made me smile that a) I'm allowed to do things like this at my new nursery and how blatantly obvious that statement was, but something I would not have considered.

Guest Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 For my course I have just let some children use my digital camera to photograph what they wanted, it was great, I was able to print out the images (feet, table legs, books! ) and extend the learning the next day with recall and discussion about the technology - this was with 3 year olds!
