Our Adventures

We have been very busy exploring, discovering and using our imaginations!

The students dove deep into creating small worlds, writing letters to fairies and having fairies and a gnome visit our classroom.

We have researched and learned more about our two class trees.

The students have demonstrated growth in slowing down to look closely and are able to sit for a longer period of time alone in nature in their Sit Spots.

We have also been making patterns with loose parts, cloud watching, looking for minibeasts under rocks, exploring seeds from sunflowers and other plants/trees and discovering different ways to use wood boards in our outdoor classroom.

The students have started to climb the small trees that we have in our outdoor classroom area. Some students were surprised that they were "allowed to climb trees." We also had two opportunities to jump in puddles, investigate puddles and make rivers in the mud. Some students were hesitant at first and worried that their parents would be upset that they were getting muddy. It was nice to see that all of the students are risk takers and enjoy the opportunity to go in the puddles and climb trees.

Over the past few years I have been surprised at how many of the girls in my class enjoy investigating and holding minibeasts. It almost seems that more girls and less boys have worms in their hands and get excited about finding minibeasts.
