Over the past week, the children have been enthusiastically exploring the school grounds to look for signs of Spring. During Outdoor Learning we observed many daffodils beginning to grow and very excited to discover frogspawn with Miss Callaghan. This sparked great curiosity, and we will be following the life cycle within Continuous Provision, as the children have lots of questions. The children enjoyed creating wind catchers to build fine motor skills, using colours of the Welsh flag.
In addition, we spent time collecting sticks for another activity and created tally’s to develop our maths skills. The children also experimented with planks, independently building bridges in different positions, testing how this affected the speed of a toy car. Lots of fun. This hands-on exploration encouraged problem solving , teamwork and scientific thinking.
