Water play outdoors

We had great fun exploring outdoors following the rainfall on Sunday night. It created the perfect opportunity for the children to learn lots of math! They worked together as a team using their own buckets to fill the biggest tub.

“WOW look at this GIANT puddle” Sophia

“It’s getting fuller and fuller” Lewis

“We are filling it up” Mazie

“Look a tiny puddle” Sophia

We will continue to explore measuring water in different ways helping us to extend our language.

 

Loose Part Play

Loose parts play is a type of play that supports invention, divergent thinking, problem solving and offers a sense of wonder to children. They are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways.

Thanks to our neighbours RICHMACK we have a very good start to our outdoor loose part collection. They kindly donated some loose part materials the children can use to be creative, develop their imagination and explore risk taking and assessing on their own.

Thank you very much.
