We've had an exciting and adventure-filled time in the forest this week, with plenty of learning, creativity, and outdoor exploration!
Global Recycling Day – Learning to Care for Our Planet
We celebrated Global Recycling Day by teaching the children how to sort and recycle materials, fostering a sense of responsibility for the environment. The highlight of the day was driving our garbage truck through the forest, which the children loved! It was a fantastic way to make recycling fun and engaging.
Digging into Dinosaurs!
Building on our dinosaur fun from last week, we set up an excavation site at camp, where the children dug up fossils and discovered different dinosaur species. Their enthusiasm for becoming little palaeontologists was incredible to see!
Swinging, Snuggling, and Mud Kitchen Creations
The afternoon was filled with a mix of high-flying fun on the swings, cozy story-time sessions, and lots of cooking in the mud kitchen. The children continue to explore different textures and ingredients, stirring up their creativity in their outdoor kitchen space.
Exploring the Park & Wildlife Observations
We made the most of the sunshine with a long adventure walk through the park, where the children enjoyed spotting wildlife at the pond—ducks were the stars of the day! With spring in full bloom, we admired the roses and daffodils and collected a few fallen flowers to decorate the mud kitchen.
Saint Patrick’s Day Activities
Our Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations continued as the children practiced their fine motor skills through cutting out and sewing clover shapes. Their focus and determination in these activities was wonderful to see!
Messy Play & Creative Fun
We also explored colourful foam messy play, drawing imaginative pictures and even pretending to make ice cream. It was a fantastic sensory experience, allowing the children to express their creativity while getting wonderfully messy!
A Week of Adventure & Learning
From balancing on logs to mud kitchen fun and story-times under the trees, the children have had a fantastic time exploring, playing, and learning.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to another exciting week ahead!
