Monday afternoon we started our new block of outdoor learning in the Mini Forest. We will be taking 10 children with us each week. The children firstly had to dress themselves and its not easy with all our waterproofs but they did a great job. Then it was outside to go over a few safety rules and then off to explore. Most of them wanted to go into a very muddy puddle for a splash about. They then choose to climb trees …finding their own level of risk, looking for a den and exploring their new surroundings .The found a branch to bounce on  and talked about the different things they found including  a wriggly worm. It was a lovely start to learning and Mrs Gray  Ms McEwan  and I are looking forward to each week ahead  regards Mrs Orr
