All of our classes love playing with the loose parts. We get to be creative and use our imagination while we develop problem solving skills. Talking and working together is great for improving our communication skills too.

Where better to learn about trees and plants than our very own Forget Me Not Woods?

Climbing trees helps us to develop our balance and co-ordination. It helps us to learn about risk management too and we have a simple rule to keep us safe when climbing – don’t climb on a branch unless it is thicker than your forearm.

Our trees do so much for us, they deserve a hug every now and then!

We’ve been learning about Scottish birds and wildlife. We made a big buzzard nest out of twigs and sticks that we found in our woods. It was the perfect place to sit, stand and play in. The children from our local nursery loved playing in the nest too!

I love photography and last year I won a photography competition about Outdoor Learning. I was delighted when Mrs Simpson asked me to take some photos of our woods. Even though it was winter, I tried to take photos of the scenery and spring flowers to show what a lovely place it is.

We’re really lucky to have the woods in our playground. We use them for climbing trees, den building, feeding the birds and for playing in. There are beautiful flowers growing there and if you’re very quiet you might see some local wildlife.
