During the term our love of, and interest in nature, has continued. Now as we near the end of term we have our own tadpole and frog area, bug house, trees growing and even starlings nesting under the peerie house! This week we’d like to share some photos that have not been included in past nature themed blogs to show you how we are becoming responsible individuals who care about each other, nature and our planet.

When playing outdoors we often discover little creatures sharing our space. We’ve welcomed spiders (and learned how they make webs), slugs, snails, slaters and centipedes with lots of legs….and the starlings with their nest of eggs.

We’ve made a wormery, collected tadpoles to give them a home and rescued tired bees by feeding them sugar water. We’ve grown our own trees by keeping them sheltered and giving them water and we’ve explored other trees through our play.

Our adventures with nature has inspired our play as we have pretended to be tadpoles swimming, frogs hopping and balancing on logs, hopping bunnies, worms rolling, flies buzzing in spider webs and spiders spinning sticky and non-sticky silken threads.

Thanks for visiting our blog this week. As summer days set in and we naturally spend more time out in nature we are excited to continue our learning and deepen our knowledge.
