Here at Murrayfield ELC setting we believe that children should be given the opportunity to learn and play outdoors in all types of weather, even in all this rain.

With all this wet weather over the last few days, its given the children to explore the outdoor area and the changes the rain can make to our outdoor environment.  The children

talked about the what makes puddles, how they feel when they jump into muddy puddles and overall the changes in weather due to it being Autumn.

The children were splashing about in the muddy puddle, were sliding down our wet slide and some children even wanted to make a fishing rods to catch some fish in this wet weather! Lacey told us that she ‘loves splashing in the puddles with her wellies on.’. Hayden-Rose joined into the conversation by saying ‘I enjoyed going down the slide in my water proof trousers.’. Later on Alfie said ‘It’s autumn now and its very rainy.’

As much as we love the rain it would still be nice to see some sunshine 🙂
