Session 4: Nurtured
In our fourth outdoor learning and play session, we focused on the wellbeing indicator ‘nurtured’.
We learned that the meaning of the word nurtured is when we care for and look after someone or something. We brainstormed how we can be nurturing to each other and in our garden, and shared some excellent comments.
Next we checked on the fat ball bird feeders we made on Tuesday and saw that they were hard. In response to Ryan and Rhyann’s comment above, fat balls were randomly selected, and we took these out to our garden where the children who made them chose branches to hang them on. Ryan said he thought these should be “…high up branches so the birds don’t get scared”, so Mrs Mackey helped to put them on. We cant wait to see if the birds eat these (we shall try to get some pictures of them if they do!).
Next we turned our attention to our garden. Again, there were many Autumn leaves to sweep up with our big brush, and we safely used our loppers and a saw (supervised by Mrs Mackey) to cut down more branches for our den. Next week P3 will continue with this activity, and Mrs MacDonald has kindly donated a tarpaulin sheet and ropes which will help to weatherproof our den! We can’t wait to see the results!
