I don't see any reason why there needs to be a formal 'mat time'. I'm more of the opinion that 'gathering times' can happen informally any time or anywhere. This was a perfect example of that. What had started as a time to explore outside ended up being a small group singing session. By showing respect and creating a welcoming environment, the children choose to come and participate and the programme just grows from there.
This is an example of dimension 14 - engages students in learning; and dimension 23 - demonstrates flexibility and adaptability.
