Learning Outdoors with Potions and Paint Pots

Lately the children have been interested in making potions so we extended this to our outdoor play, supplying the children with lots of resources such as buckets and other containers of various sizes, large sticks, spoons, powder paint, water and natural materials which we found in our outdoor area. The children were then able to access all this completely independently and use their own imaginations to make some fantastic creations.

We made potions with lots of different consistencies and we then used these creations to make marks on the ground and tables. The children used such a fantastic range of skills in this activity: communication and language, problem solving, physical  and creative development all whilst developing their knowledge and understanding of the world.  They also had an amazing time and got very messy, as did Mrs Fisher!

Early Years – Friends for the Fairy King

The children have been really enjoying themselves in the new Forest school area of the back school field, exploring nature and being imaginative. The Fairy King, who lives on our school field, asked for some friends to play with. The children used their creativity and skills to make stick men, who live in the houses we made a previous week. The children all look forward to this outdoor experience once a week and in all weathers!
