We were delighted to welcome Kate Walters to our nursery to support the children during our walk in the Belllsquarry Woods. Kate came with us to show us how we can use the outdoors as a classroom. Bellsquarry has lots of lovely space surrounding the school and it is ideal for this type of activity. The children searched for different natural objects in the woods and collected them to take back to the nursery, the children were also told how to react to curious dogs who might appear beside us. We also were shown how to light a bonfire in the woods and some of the children melted marshmallows. After we ate our outdoor snack we then went searching for minibeasts,made magic potions, and painted with natural pigments. The children also played a cool game of hide and seek

   

Many thanks to all who came to walk with us and who supported the children, both AM and PM sessions.

There are pictures of PM children to follow. The nursery camera stopped working and we had to borrow Kate’s.
