We continued to discuss and evaluate our safety as we began each session, and as we explored the area. We used the litter pickers to help collect the rubbish in the area, taking it back to the ECC at the end of the session.

We enjoyed the mud using our senses, listening to the noise under our feet, feeling it squish through our fingers and looking as it as it stuck to wellingtons/gloves/suits/sticks etc.

We continued to explore the fauna and flora, look for insects, watch the birds, and discuss the berries we found.

Imaginative play continues to be popular as we make homes in the trees and bushes, with lots of fantastic descriptive vocabulary between peers and adults.

On return to the ECC we decided that next week we would explore the ‘Mini Beasts’ in the area.
