| The Role Play Area |
| Teachers provide unlimited opportunities for imaginative
play. Students are encouraged to take on various roles,
imitate movements, mannerisms, gestures, and expressions.
They play and use relevant speech as they interact with
the environment and develop personal and social skills. |
| |
| The Toy Area |
| Toys help to develop numerous skills and attitudes.
Mathematics is one example where students learn about
shape and space as they build with blocks and learn
about volume and capacity as they play with sand and
water. |
| |
| The Reading Area |
| Reading, and learning to behave as readers, is an
important stage in language development. BSS early years
classrooms have a good supply of books and students
are encouraged to read and enjoy books from an early
age. |
| |
| The Writing Area |
| In BSS classrooms, writing is as usual as speaking
and listening. Students are stimulated to make marks;
various writing tools are provided and are accessible
to students at all times. Students are encouraged to
write spontaneously, perhaps to write a shopping list
or prescriptions for patients in the role-play area! |
