Some of Yellow Group explored the Small World area in the Nursery. The dinosaurs and trains proved to be very popular until the coloured blocks came out! There was a lot of balancing and building of towers. Esme said she was building a âbig big tower!â while Harriet decided, âI donât need to build a big tower, Iâm gonna build a little tower.â
Â
Jack put his dinosaurs in a line and got very excited when he had a handful of âteeny tiny dinosaurs!â
Leo couldnât keep his trains on the track! âThey keep falling off the end.â He worked with James to make a longer track so the trains stay on.
FOREST SCHOOL Yellow Group 26.09.2017
Today we found some mushrooms growing in Forest School so the children talked about how they are dangerous and what we need to do if we find them. The children cut and stuck pictures of our mushrooms and other mushrooms into the floor book and talked about what to do when we found them.
The morning children explored the forest and loved paying with the Elderberries which grow in abundance in the nursery forest. Jenson and Holly used the berries to make butterfly drawings.
The afternoon children found 3 snails and they looked at them close up and they even built a den for them. There was a huge interest in birds so the children put out seeds for the birds and they all made bird feeders. We hid in the bird hide and looked for the birds.
All of the children sat round the campfire and revisited the campfire rules. They were fantastic at remembering the campfire rules so we lit the campfire and the children toasted their own marshmallows!
