Fun in the Wild Woods

The older children have chosen to play in the wild woods this week. There has been lots of fun and learning. Children have followed their own interests – some choosing to join the ‘ fire crew’ – building fires to keep warm and learning about personal safety. Others have explored safety by ‘ risk assessing’ how high they can climb in the trees, also developing their gross motor skills. Our mud kitchen is very popular – children have been making ‘ ice cakes’ – using cake cases to put water and leaves etc. in then leaving them to ‘set’ over night. So much learning about science, materials, temperatures and endless amounts of fun.
