This morning started off freezing cold with a very icy frost. Once the sun came out the children decided to go out to play having lots to do as the day warmed up. In the sandpit were children busy digging. We filled up buckets and made castles; testing out some basic maths concepts like volume and weight. There were also baking tins which gave the children the idea to cook some delicious cakes and bake them in our oven. I saw some really neat dramatic play as they added ingredients and stirred their pans of sand.
On the grass we had some neat climbing challenges set up. The favourite climbing equipment of the morning was the little yellow bridge. It is rather tricky and involves a lot of thinking and practice to climb over it. The children were very kind and caring helping each other walk across the bridge by holding hands for support. The little yellow bridge provides the children with an opportunity to practice and test their bodies abilities and learn to become confident in their bodies movements.
Hopefully tomorrow will bring another sunny day so we can play outside in the sun and practice our climbing skills.
