A display helped children at Yarm School nursery to explore the meaning of love, as Victoria Harrison explains.

At Yarm School nursery, we have a constant stream of exciting, colourful and informative displays, all child-initiated but often created and developed with adult support. One recent example was on the theme of love.

The idea stemmed from one of our regular staff meetings, when someone commented on how often the children had used 'love' in their recent conversations about their families: 'I love my Mummy', 'I love my Daddy', 'I love my hugs.'

We decided to run with this interest, first by reading stories about love (see box) and then by posing the question, what is love? A theme for a display was born.
