We had such a lot of fun on my first forest visit. We collected sticks with friends to take back to nursery. We are going to use them to make a roof on our outdoor story corner.
The children were using and learning about vocabulary relating to size.
“Look at the size of the stick I found Alison, It’s big!”
The boys and girls had a fantastic idea to go for a walk to find the Nutcrackers! We wrapped up warm in our jackets, gloves and hats and off we went! We all followed our safety rules when walking on the pavement and crossing the road – we counted down from 5 to wake up the green man! We arrived in the Piazza to be welcomed by a very tall Nutcracker, who pointed us in the direction of our Paisley Nutcracker Trail map to help us find out where the other Nutcrackers are hiding! We took a little walk through High Street and Paisley Centre to find not one, not two but three Nutcrackers! We decided we would come back another day to discover the rest of them as it was very chilly and we were all getting tired after our long trip! Well done to all the boys and girls for fantastic walking all the way to Paisley Centre and back, thumbs up for you all!
A: “It’s the Nutcracker King!”
P: “Look, he’s hiding behind the toys!”
R: “Nutcrackers come out for Christmas time, but it’s not Christmas time yet!”
N: “We found 4 already!”
J: “Let’s keep our eyes opened to find them.”
The boys and girls have been so excited about exploring our local park! We decided that today we would wrap up warm, put our wellies on and go for a walk to Barshaw Park!
When we entered the park, we noticed that it was very quiet… There were barely any people there, but us!
G: “It’s very quiet today, it’s usually busy.”
L: “There aren’t even many dogs!”
It seemed that we had the park to ourselves and we made the most out of it! We went on a hunt for Autumn treasures – we found lots of leaves of different colours, twigs, sticks, but… We couldn’t find any conkers!
O: “I can’t see any conkers!”
SB: “It’s because the squirrels ate them!”
G: “Look, I’ve found an eaten conker!”
WOW, what a great discovery! We also found golden leaves, green leaves, orange leaves and brown leaves! We decided that they’re all lying on the floor because the trees are getting ready for winter time.
After our hunt, we had a lovely picnic! We re-charged our batteries with healthy fruit and a drink of milk and water. When we were sitting down, we noticed that we were getting more and more cold…
L: “It’s because it’s foggy today.”
H: “It’s very cold!”
L: “I’m as cold as an ice-cube!”
We decided to do some excercise and run about for a while to warm up! The boys and girls were noticing the change in their bodies caused by excercise – we were getting warmer, our cheeks were becoming red and our hearts were beating faster and faster. We all know that excercise makes us strong and healthy. We all had so much fun at the Forest Kindergarten today, we can’t wait to go back!
(Can you please ensure that your child has got wellies and warm clothing including hats, scarves and gloves, so your child is warm and comfortable and enjoys their Forest Kindergarten experience. Thank you.)
