Exploring learning through play, curiosity and the outdoors.
With the endless rain today pupils were really interested in where it comes from. We had some impromptu learning about the water cycle and rain this afternoon where pupils asked very insightful questions. After watching the forecast for the next few days then the class asked to get their wet suits and wellies on and I wasn’t going to say no.
Pupil Voice:
‘This is the bonfire, wir needing some more rocks to go aroond it.’
‘We are need a fire lighter… we dunna have one lets use two sticks and rub them together’.
‘We can grab onto this with both hands and left our feet up and swing across to the other side’.
‘I am like a koala in the tree, hanging down from my arms and legs’.
Lots of role play in the wildlife area today, bonfire and den making as well as creating games in the trees. When it rained we hid in the den of trees and read the story ‘Where the wild things are’ then we revised our phonics sounds and blended some sounds to read words.
