<\/a><\/p>\nSome suggestions of what we could make or need for our camping experience were – \u201da roof \u201d, \u201ca camp fire\u201d, \u00a0\u201ctorches\u201d, sleeping bag\u201d and of course \u201c food\u201d<\/p>\n
The children \u00a0gathered a variety of resources and began to build the tent using and exercising their gross motor skills. They communicated well and helped one another when building their tent.

We decided the pegs and blocks worked the best .<\/p>\n

The children used their imaginations creating a variety of scenarios they have tried before\u00a0such as toasting marshmallows, fishing, playing mummy\u2019s and daddy\u2019s and Going on a Bear Hunt.<\/p>\n \u201d It\u2019s sleepover time\u201d<\/p>\n \u201dI have made real life marshmallows on a fire \u201d\ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n \u201dFire is burny\u201d<\/p>\n Later, \u00a0I was invited into the tent join the children and read one of our favourite stories – The Tiger Who Came to Tea before we snuggled down cosy for our sleep in our tent! \u26fa\ufe0f Goodnight campers! See you in the morning!\u26fa\ufe0f<\/p>\n Today, the children were talking about camping in tents\u00a0and shared their some of their own experiences together in a small group. \u201dI have been camping\u201d \u201dI have a tent in my living room\u201d \u201c I would like to go camping \u201c We decided to bring the outdoors in to the discovery room and build our … Continue reading Happy Campers \u26fa\ufe0f<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
