Watch How We Grow – Measuring

We have been learning about different ways to measure by height weight and capacity. We worked together with the ladies and created a wall display ‘Watch how we Grow’ showcasing our range of heights across the EYC. The length of the ribbon is the length of each child, who then created their own flowers to make a pretty flower bed. 🌺🌷🌸🌻💐

EYC OUTDOOR LEARNING

Another October fun filled day in the forest for the EYC children! Everyone was SO busy. We created our own paints with the mortar & pestle using berries and leaves; practiced our balancing and jumping skills on the big log; played circle games and tig; climbed trees; compared sizes of branches and trees; created lots of mud pies; shared a story and found lots of interesting mushrooms and fungi! Everyone is learning to respect the boundaries set and watch out for any risky business!! We had so many sensible children alerting the ladies to danger! We talked about slips and falls, the high river after all of the recent rain, broken glass, jaggy trees and stinging nettles! 🌲🪵🌿🍂🍄🎨🏕

 

EYC & P1- Forest School Learning Approach

On the 7th October the EYC and P1 experienced the great outdoors all day long as they took a forest kindergarten approach to learning! Armed with toilets, tents, tarps and tasty lunches they explored the sights, sounds and smells around them. As they played the children were developing their fine & gross motor skills, risk awareness, listening skills, sensory awareness, maths & numeracy skills and language & literacy skills! A busy and fun day was had by all! 🌲🍁🍂🏕
