n Children enjoy spending time outdoors in the fresh air with their friends. They play organised games, such as football and various team games. Children cooperate well on tasks as they build tall structures using magnetic shapes. They talk about how best to build them so that they do not fall. They problem-solve and establish that each structure needs to have a 'firm base at the bottom to make it strong'. n Children enjoy taking part in sensory play. They mould and manipulate clay to make various creations, including vases and bowls. They use other materials to add texture to their creations and decide to add small sticks to give the appearance of 'quills' on the backs of hedgehogs they have created. Children observe the changes to the appearance of the clay as it dries.

They take the time to listen to what the children have to say and this helps to support children's emotional well-being. n Good partnerships with parents exist.
