We had so much fun outside! We wrote our names in the snow using our feet, made snow angels, built little snowmen and played with our friends. We were all lovely and warm because we were well wrapped up. Some socks still had to come off and go on the radiators though as some of us liked filling our wellie boots with snow. Brrr! ❄️☃️
We love being outside! Every Tuesday afternoon we will be going outdoors in all weathers. This week, we explored our school Eco Garden and made plans for Spring. We also visited the adventure playground. Please ensure all children are well wrapped up – Miss O’Neil will be doing the same as she had no socks on and ended up with very cold toes!
We have come such a long way in P1.3 and we have only been here for 10 weeks! We were talking to the children about all the different things we have learned and they started to suggest more. We also looked at our blog to remember things we had forgotten. We made a big list then Mrs Arbuckle put it onto a “ map”. We were amazed…. and we are still learning!😁😁🎓
It was a glorious day to go out and do leaf rubbings. We ran around the playground to gather our leaves and used wax crayon and paper to rub the leaves. We did some beautiful rubbings.
There is always so much going in class and it is lovely to see how well the children have all settled and how they enjoy learning through play. Their discussions are second to none. They are a curious class and are encouraged to try things out for themselves as they work things out. The teachers are always at hand to give support if required, but we always ask the children to try first. The children also ask lots of questions and we adjust our planning to suit their needs and satisfy their answers. “ Why are the leaves yellow? What makes them crispy?” Let’s learn about trees, leaves and the environment they grow in! Then they asked about birds….. and so it snowballs!
We Re. Ontinuing to learn about nature with our outdoor walks. It is amazing the different things that the children think of! There is so much discussion to be had and we love looking at our “treasure” under the digital microscope.
We went for a walk after the big storm to see what we could find lying around. There were lots of big branches, leaves and seeds. We then took them into the outdoor classroom to have a closer look at them.
