Using a hoover!

[fridaysoff]

I have a little girl (28mthsmths) who spilt lots of play rice on the floor. We decided to get the hoover out and she really enjoyed clearing it up. She is very reserved and usualy decides not to use any noisy electrical stuff like food mixer etc. After watching some children, she had a go and had a very secret little smile on her face and was very thorough getting rice up. So where does it fit?

I know its ICT and its CLL large shoulder movements in handwriting (in EYFS grids planning and resourcing says about large arm movements, batting balls and swirling ribbons - so can I match that? 30-50mths) I think it is, PD: using equipment, but where would you put it in PSE- any ideas anyone?


(sorry for boring post:rolleyes: )

might have been psrn. she might have been puzzling the whole time over where it was going fascinated and then worked out how to get ever last piece by holding it in the right place/way.
