Dragonflies is a 2-3 year old room, where children move up from Bumble Bees. This room supports the older 2-3 children. Planning and activities are based topics and child's interests. The continuous provision areas allow children to instantly feel at ease as they quickly familiarise themselves with the resources. The continuous provision, together with a varied structured program, including story-time and group-time, support children to further develop their listening and concentration skills.

We incorporate Letter Join, where children copy patterns before they learn to write. The children also take part in maths during group time, where activities are created to embed counting and number recognition. We also use natural resources from the environment to help us count or build indoors as well as outside, such as: sticks, conkers, acorns etc. 

Children are encouraged to develop personal skills, such as putting on and fastening their own coats, hats, gloves and shoes. Furthermore, supporting children to manage their own hygiene requirements will later make for a smooth transition to school.

Mealtimes are similar to that in Ladybirds except children will begin the process of serving some food items themselves and pouring drinks more independently. Serving food themselves has proved successful in encouraging children to try new foods and to eat more substantial portions.
