Vets Role Play Corner

On their return from the half term holidays the children found out that our Home Corner became a Veterinary Surgery.

It has been lovely to see the children re-enact their owns experiences during their play. 

They have taken on the role of a vet, a receptionist, an animal, a pet owner and a surgeon.

Children have freely explored an imaginary world and benefited so much from it, already.  I cherish their imagination and the gorgeous stories they are coming up with.

This role play has supported children to:

• Practise and role play their understanding and interpretation.
• Develop social skills such as practising negotiation skills, turn taking and sharing.
• Provides opportunities for working out problems and experimenting with solutions.
• Understanding and expressing their feelings through the re-enactment of certain experiences. 
• Taking on roles that encourage discipline and empathy.
• Encourages imagination: Children can be anyone and do anything in the pretend world.
• Develop language skills by practising listening, looking and talking.
