Every moment counts!

We have had a very successful start to our Forest School sessions. We began the session with our forest school song and rules before exploring the outside area to find sticks. Once we had enough sticks, we used them to make our own stick men, some children were creative and made houses for the stick people to live in. We also took part in lots of other outdoor activities with the favourites being mud painting and water play. We joined together to listen to outdoor sounds, making up our own songs about what we heard. We ended the session with The Stick Man story and our closing song.
Wow, what a day in Nursery! We started off by learning a little about Diwali and some of the things that Hindu’s do to celebrate. We made Rangoli patterns out of loose parts and paint and even participated in special Bollywood dancing. I wonder if any of our talented dances can show their grown ups a move or two!
