Childminder
Description
A visit to a childminder in Birmingham who looks after two three year olds. Accredited childminder Julie noticed Tom and Riley's excitement about buses and built a bus journey into her plans. This programme follows them on their journey, as they talk excitedly about passengers, see other buses, and both notice and take photographs of key features of the journey. At the bus station, they notice the timetable which leads to number work. Back at the childminder's they consolidate their learning. They use the photographs to recall and order the journey. They role play about the bus, using a large cardboard box and also draw and make models around the bus theme. The programme looks at the way Julie plans from a child-initiated starting point, skilfully leads the learning and follows up an experience in the everyday environment with play at her setting.
