Kearnu (four years one month) is in his second year at Pen Green nursery and currently attends full time. He is fascinated with lines, connections and grids.
Home context
Kearnu lives with his mum, Charraine, dad, Neil, and brother Shaye (one year one month). At home he enjoys using his train set and appears interested in lines, connections and grids. Charraine reports, 'He will sort out the track how he wants it, but then doesn't play with it.' Kearnu stops playing with the train set when he is satisfied with the 'pattern' he has made with the linking track.
He shows a similar interest with his dominoes. He is interested in connecting the dominoes together by matching the numbers and transforming the single dominoes into grid-like configurations.
