November 2022                 

When we are exploring outdoors as an adult, do we really use our senses to fully experience its wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!

Children are much better than us at taking time to fully appreciate our environment.

So over the month of November I would like you to try take time to stand still with your child outdoors and use your senses:

 Look

Listen

 Smell

 Touch (if appropriate)

 Taste (if appropriate)

Your task is to note one thing for each sense that you notice and one thing for each sense that your child notices.

E.g.          I saw a bird

                I heard a siren.

               I smelt fireworks

               I touched leaves.

               I tasted ice-cream

You will be surprised at what differences you may find. Please upload your findings to your child’s learning journals or send email to:

Hope you have fun!
