Busy days

We have so many learning opportunities in our outside area.

             Painting with sticks and leaves.

Pedaling and pushing with our legs helps to make them strong. We have to take turns on the bikes and scooters so we learn patience and negotiation skills too!

We move to the music, make up dances and join in with familiar songs.

We explore the soil, hunting for worms. We use the soil to cook fantastic soups and cakes in the mud kitchen.

Exploring the water trough. We can mix up mud paint here.

Experimenting with rhythm and volume.

Pressing, pushing, squeezing… All these jobs help to strengthen our fingers and hands.

Having a rest in our cosy reading shed.

Five little speckled frogs! Counting and subtracting along with the song.

We threaded leaves on to sticks…

It took a lot of concentration. Our leaves kept blowing away!

Using sticks, leaves, flowers and stones to make works of art. This is the deep, dark forest.

We loved the feeling of the strong wind. Our ribbons felt like wings or the trails of jet planes. We made huge circles with our arms – lots of exercise!
