Outdoor play

Posted on by Justine
down by the river
out in the woods
out in all weather
safety is paramount
space to roam
mud – we love mud
whoops to much mud!
watching the water and finding new life
looking for shapes and asking questions
watching the birds
watching nature blossom

lots to think about with our little people

rest is as important as learning – its the time children make sense of all the information they have taken in that day – week
