What a surprise….

Hello to this week’s blog

As you may have experienced this week, snow! Such a surprise !! Children thought winter had returned but alas it was just Scottish weather at it’s best. Children did have the opportunity to explore the ‘snow’ as it lay like little balls. Some children commented that it “looks like wee triangles but very cold.” Which was true as I thought they may have been more circular in shape but they were like little prisms for the short while they ley.

Earlier in the week and today all children have visited the local park to do some exercises in lovely sunshine.

Children have had a great time using soft pastels as well as looking at some artists to inspire them show their creative side. Their discussions have been wonderful and very descriptive. By using some pictures of famous artists who have also used pastels has motivated them to try their own hand at producing their own work – watch out Van Gogh.

Outdoors – well can it be anything other than water! The water tray was moved to another area of the outdoor area: which the children choose through discussion and it has challenged them to use this from their usual type of play – they requested pipes, guttering and containers of different sizes. They have explored and discovered: through problem solving and communication with each other, how to make water run fast/slow and some are now building canals for water to flow to other areas such as into buckets and containers.
