He collects other objects around the house that are cylinders.

It’s very beautiful and I have to be careful not to get it dirty” Parent/carer observation Whilst watching a nature program about sea creatures Michael says “ Mummy, the great white shark is the biggest shark that sometimes eats people and the blue whale is the biggest mammal.”

Understanding of the World Parent/carer observation We made pancakes together on shrove Tuesday. When adding flour to the mixture, Tyler comments that it is “thick and gloopy”. When asked what will happen to the batter in the pan, Tyler replies “it will turn into a pancake and won’t be all runny anymore”.
