Exploring and making the most of the varied weather conditions

 

We’ve had inside water play, at first we had dolls that the children could wash, dry and put nappies on, this was short lived as going with the children’s interests it was soon turned into water play with sea animals. 
At forest school on a drizzly Friday morning a child instigated laying on the ground at first looking up in the trees, it was then suggested catching rain on our tongue lots of laughter was heard as the rain fell on our noses, cheeks, eyes and eventually on the tongue. 

The 2-3yr children in the Broadway setting have made the most of the varied weather conditions.  We took full advantage of the wet weather and they togged up in waterproofs and wellies instigating and engaging in water play using buckets to catch water falling from guttering, exploring capacity filling them and emptying to make puddles for splashing. 

Over the last 2 weeks the 2 - 3 year olds are getting really confident in the setting and we have seen some really good building with the large lego bricks outside and the wooden blocks inside, with help from each other.
Also the children have really enjoyed doing some dancing at the end of the session and we have seen some really good moves from them all with lots of smiling and laughing.

Despite the cold weather the children have enjoyed time at Forest School. Many have enjoyed  being involved in the mud kitchen digging and transporting mud for cupcakes.  Some have enjoyed the opportunity to do whittling in preparation for cooking on an open fire.  Great activity to develop coordination and build gross motor skills.
