Real-Life Superheroes

11 Nov

In Reception, the children have been exploring the theme of ‘Real-Life Superheroes’, with a particular focus on the important role of firefighters. Their role-play area and small world have been transformed into a fire station, providing lots of exciting opportunities for imaginative play and learning.

The children have enjoyed dressing up as firefighters, using hoses and pretend fire extinguishers to tackle fires. They have also been putting out ‘fire numbers’, helping them to practice their counting skills as they rescued each number. Alongside this, the children have been completing incident forms, giving them the opportunity to practice writing their names.

To further develop their small world play, we have also introduced a set of wooden firefighters, which the children have loved incorporating into their imaginative adventures!
