The children spent a sunny afternoon in the Mini Forest, we took magnifying glasses with us to help find signs of spring growth and mini beasts.

The children found small red specks on a branch and thought it might be part of a ladybird, small buds beginning to grow on a shrub, and lichen on branches.

The children found a large piece of wood “Look Mrs Gray it’s a pencil…we can draw with it in the mud.”

The children continue to explore the area, using their imaginations to act out different scenarios, working cooperatively to find and discover interesting objects.
