Afternoon at the fire pit.
This afternoon we got the fire pit out and together begun to make the fire.
The children helped shred the wood , put twigs and sticks into the fire pit and made a spark with the flint.
Throughout the fire pit activity ,children developed their awareness of fire safety rules.
Please see the children comments :
”If you touch the fire you will get burn ”
”Yes and this is very sore”
” We not allow to go over the yellow line ”
” Only an adult can set the fire up ”
” Water puts fire out ”
And then children’s curiosity ……………
”Why is the smoke white”
‘Why dose the fire dance ” ” Looks like orange”
” Why dose smoke smell like that ”
” Can we cook in the fire ”
‘‘ Yeah Marshmallows”
”Burned toast”
”Chocolate ”

Farewell to the Afternoon Butterflies
It was a beautiful sunny day to set the afternoon butterflies free. We sat up on the hill in the sunshine and watched them fly off up into the sky and to the trees. We have been responsibly caring for them and nurturing them since they arrived as tiny baby caterpillars! You can also view the video on the TV screen in nursery.
Sway Learning Story update coming soon….
