We linked the children’s current interest in superheroes to coincide with our teaching of emotions. Staff were inspired to create a wide range of activities across the curriculum reflecting the theme. These included a Numicon skyline and a superhero phone book to develop maths skills. Parents and grandparents kindly made and donated superhero capes and masks which produced some creative roleplay. We worked in partnership with our families to create a superhero board reflecting the children’s achievements and successes at home. To promote personal, social, and emotional growth superhero reward figures were also created by staff and sent home noting positive behaviour within Pre-School. The children were captivated by the theme which resulted in some inspirational child-initiated play and learning opportunities and outcomes.
