Outdoor Focus Week
Outdoor Focus Week
Monday began with us exploring our school grounds. We looked for minibeasts and other creatures. Children discussed what we can do to help care for minibeasts and their habitats. In the afternoon we found out about what plants need to grow and planted some seeds. We are excited to watch them grow over the next few weeks.
Tuesdays focus was skill building and practical application. Children were challenged to work as teams to build some dens and also build a boat which would fit all of their team in.
Wednesday was all about exploration and discovery. We started the day by going on a sensory walk around the school grounds. We also collected some natural resources that we then used to make some transient art work.
