Vets Open!
In the afternoons the children have opportunity to have a voice in relation to their learning environment. Daniel asked, "Can we have the vets put out?" This was written on the children's voice wall. Other children in the class agreed they would also like to play in the vets. The children displayed a sense of agency, making choices and decisions about their learning.
