Lexi wanted to do a big floor puzzle, and she chose the zoo animals one. We tiped out the pieces and Lexi starting collecting the ones that looked like a giraffe. Rionagh came inside a few moments later and took an interest in the puzzle as well. She sat down with us and Lexi was very welcoming. 'You can help us Rionagh', she said with a big happy grin. Rionagh started picking up different pieces and just enjoyed talking about the animals. "What's this Rionagh?' I said, pointing to the elephant. 'Elaaaphan" she replied, trying really hard to say it. I encouraged Rionagh's vocab by sounding out the words slowly so she could repeat after me. Rioangh had great recognition skills! Lexi was confident in her knowledge of the animals and had fun catagorizing the animal pieces. I loved the way Rionagh and Lexi interacted together. Although at different stages in their learning and understanding, they still interacted and understood each other and completed the puzzle. Ainslee
