Nina Marni every one and welcome to our weekly blog.
Our Learning Intention 1 is to nurture and deepen each child’ innate sense of agency in decision making and routine/self-help tasks
The sense of agency is defined as the sense of oneself as the agent of one’s own actions. This also allows oneself to feel distinct from others, and contributes to the subjective phenomenon of self-consciousness In the approved learning frameworks, agency is defined as being able to make choices and decisions to influence events and to have an impact on one’s world. Supporting children’s agency is about recognising that children have a right to make choices and decisions and can initiate their own learningChildren who have opportunities to effectively assess and manage risk at an early age will be better equipped to deal with risk as an adult. It also creates a learning environment where children can identify their limits, seek help when need, and supports children to explore, experiment and cope with the unexpected
ILP’S: All Children
Our Learning Intention two is to support children’s engagement, development and self-regulation through strengthening their sensory processing capabilities.
Sensory processing is a foundational building block for learning. Our senses collect information from the world around us, as well as our interactions within it. This information is then processed in our brain, forming the basis of our learning, wellbeing annd secure interactions with others. The brain and body need an abundance of sensory-motor experiences in the first years of life in order to strengthen this partnership and to provide children with lifelong sensory processing capabilities.

Literacy Intentions (our hopes for their learning)
- Reading picture books regularly. Children will enjoy a joyful connection to picture books.
- Continue using mark-making tools, such as crayons, texts, pencils, paint, chalk, sand (as they create texts during this process).
- Children will build symbolic functioning, sharing something about the marks they have created.

Numeracy Intentions
Can you count the animals??
Children resource their own learning through connecting with people, place, technologies and natural and processed materials – Learning outcome 4.4, Early Years Learning Framework. Our preschool children love to use their senses to explore natural and built environments. They experience the benefits and pleasure of shared learning exploration.
Active play is another favourite experience in preschool room. Yoga, music and movement, dancing and social/group games support children to be engaged in their physical activities.
Community walk are always among the most loved experiences of all.
