Building a “Taid-ran-and-saw-us Rex” with Daddy. Ioan started it off and Finn finished it, in his Greatest Showman hat of course!

  • Build Your Own 3D Puzzle from The Works

Method

Ioan helped Liam to push out all of the wooden pieces and follow the instructions, finding the corresponding shapes to construct the T-Rex.

Finn loves any activity with Daddy, he concentrated hard and was very proud at the end!

DfES Early Learning Goals (2017)

Communication and language

ELG 01 – Listening and attention:

Children listen attentively in a range of situations. They give their attention to what others say and respond appropriately, while engaged in another activity.

ELG 02 – Understanding:

Children follow instructions involving several ideas or actions. They answer ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions about their experiences and in response to stories or events.

Physical development

ELG 04 – Moving and handling:

Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. They handle equipment and tools effectively, including pencils for writing.

Personal, social and emotional development

ELG 08 – Making relationships:

Children play co-operatively, taking turns with others. They take account of one another’s ideas about how to organise their activity. They show sensitivity to others’ needs and feelings, and form positive relationships with adults and other children.

Mathematics

ELG12 – Shape, space and measures:

Children use everyday language to talk about size and position to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.
