What a difference a week makes. Last week the outdoor explorers visited Grant Park and made snow shelters for their lego men. Some brave souls tried sledging down the slopes on plastic carrier bags! Today the sun shone and the sky was blue as we walked to Sanquhar Pond. Children had the choice to draw with a stick, create a birds nest or mix up a potion using forest floor materials. While having all this fun the children are learning to assess risk when in the outdoor environment and stay safe.
