For example, older children use number recognition to find their chairs at lunch time, and use a range of media to learn letters and practise their writing. Outdoors, children benefit from a wealth of exciting opportunities. They delight in exploring, making connections and investigating. Children use a multitude of different tools and sensory materials to develop new ideas. For example, they use spray bottles filled with coloured water to make marks and staff encourage them to talk about the patterns they create.
