This week the children have been exploring the role of a doctor in the role play area. They have been setting up appointments, waiting in the waiting room, and treating patients.

On Wednesday we took the children to the open area of the Woodies for the first time. They did a wonderful job staying within their coned boundaries!

The children appeared to enjoy exploring this new environment. They balanced and climbed on the ‘listening log’, explored the leaves and moss with magnifying glasses and pickers, and had races up and down the hill. At the end of the session, most of the Grasshoppers evaluated their session by giving it a thumbs up! A few children said that they preferred the gated area of the Woodies, so we will continue to be flexible about which area we use, based on what we are doing.
