Learning & Development: Our bright idea - Spring makes a show

Displays with pictures, captions and objects are an ideal way for children to show their learning about spring, as Sheila Gardiner demonstrates.

Staff at Rainbow Nursery develop awareness of the changing seasons with their vibrant displays. The display area in the entrance is an ideal place to provide stimulating visual and interactive opportunities for parents and children to explore seasonal changes together.

Every year at this time we focus on the anticipation of warmer, longer days and the evidence of new life around us. We ensure access to a wide selection of growing activities, walks into the locality and spring-related natural materials to look at, listen to, touch, feel and smell. We also have spring displays throughout the nursery, ranging from colourful mobiles in baby and toddler rooms to children's own displays reflecting their spring explorations in our pre-school room.
