Foundation 1 enjoy exploring different types of every day technology in our home role play area. We have enhanced our role play areas to include a wide range of technology- some that are familiar and others that the children may have not seen before.
The children have enjoyed using the rotary dial telephone and film camera within their play and this exposure to older technology has allowed the children to make comparisons and have discussions surrounding the different types of technology we use on an every day basis. When exploring the film camera the children noticed that there is no screen to see the pictures they have taken this lead into a discussion about having to wait for pictures to developed and printed. The children also compared the phones they have at home to the rotary dial phone in the role play area- the children explored how to dial numbers and discussed the difference between a mobile phone and a land line.
