Outdoor learning

The children have had lots of fun outdoors with our new water play area.They have been exploring the magnetic wall and working together to learn how to use the water pump. The children have been using water in many different ways within their play.

We all had lots of fun practicing our gross motor skills in the sports hall this week. We have been learning how to use the equipment safely. The children enjoyed climbing over gymnastics equipment, crawling through tunnels, balancing on planks and jumping safely using two feet.
