Good evening everyone,
What a great day we had enjoying all things outdoors! Our very first Outdoor Classroom Day was a very busy one but we had so much fun.
We were very lucky to get the chance to use our new outdoor classroom after break where we completed some senses writing. We talked about what the different senses were and then wrote some super sentences. Next we worked on our number bond skills. In pairs we chose a number to work with and then used nature to complete the number bonds. Before heading back indoors for lunch, we were able to have a play in the maze which you all thoroughly enjoyed.
After lunch we headed up for our very first visit to Picnic Paradise with P1P. We had lots of fun cloud watching. Can you tell someone at home what you saw in the clouds? We had some wonderful suggestions. Next we had a chance to do some texture rubbings. We used the trees, the walls, the tower and even the paving stones (which seemed to work the best).
Then we went back to the field where we planted some bulbs with Elspeth who is the Community Champion from Morrisons. Our planter is being called the “Surprise Planter” because we have no idea what the bulbs were – we just need to wait and see what grows! Lots of fun was also had with the magnifier jars and our new leaf-shaped chalkboards.
Well done P1S for getting so involved in all of our tasks today. I am so glad you had fun! Here are a few photos of our day.
