In Early Years, advisors Sue Durant and Sheila Sage demonstrate developing strategies for 'fun-centred' learning. Here, they look at daily routines and explore how these tasks can be used to develop young children&'s independence and imagination.

Familiar routines, from hanging up coats, self-registration and visiting the toilet, are looked at as well as the value of children choosing and directing their own activities.

Sue and Sheila examine how to use and vary the physical space in the setting, providing thinking space for children and time to respond and learn.

Instead of Brain Gym I prefer short yoga stories: great healthy fun way to prepare the children's brain for learning!

As soon as I saw Brain gym at the 5 minute mark, credibility plummeted. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/mar/18/comment.badscience
