Outdoor Learning

We have been busy exploring mud, water and ice outside, making ice sculptures, snowmen and bug hotels.  Despite the cold and wet weather, we have wrapped up and ventured outside for many of our lessons, as have the children at home, or at least we hope they have, as their instructions were to go outside and not take the mud to the kitchen table!

Due to all the water, frogs and newts decided to make our mud kitchen area their temporary home, giving an added bonus to our exploration.  

To warm up we have lit the fire and made bread and toasted marshmallows too.
