Curiosity, creativity, and a bit of messy fun with shaving foam the best kind of learning #ScienceWeek #WeatherAndSeasons #EarlyYears #LearningThroughPlay #ScienceForKids

Forest School Fun Doves Class had an exciting time in Forest School this week! They loved exploring the swing, rope ladder and hammock, as well as getting creative in the mud kitchen. The children also used 'loose parts' to build their own unique models. There was lots of excitement as we investigated the pond. We wondered if there were any tadpoles yetand were delighted to discover they had just started to hatch! We saw them wiggling in the jelly, with some already becoming tadpoles. To top it all off, while we were observing, a frog suddenly appeared from underneath the frogspawn and swam off to nearby plants. What an amazing afternoon! #ForestSchool #Tadpoles #Frogs #WildlifePonds #Ecosystems
