"The Learning Hub" is a wonderful resource, especially during the hot summer months when we can make limited use of the playgrounds.<br><br> The 200 sq.m. of air conditioned space is used for all manner of children's activities. It is constantly being updated and refreshed by the teachers, to keep it exciting and relevant to the curriculum. At any one time, it will typically contain 3 or 4 different activity areas such as:<br> <ul> <li>arts and crafts</li> <li>construction / blocks / cars</li> <li>dress-up areas</li> <li>sand and water play</li> <li>woodwork area</li> <li>physical activities</li> <li>music and movement</li> <li>story time</li> </ul><br> A section of the Learning Hub is used as a dining area, where the children sit together as a class group for their meals and snacks. This is an opportunity for children to learn valuable skills, including: <ul> <li>washing hands, before and after eating</li> <li>deciding what they want to eat (and communicating this with the staff)</li> <li>feeding themselves</li> <li>socialising with the children around them</li> <li>tidying up afterwards</li> </ul>
