FOREST KINDERGARTEN
June 01 2019
During this block of forest kindergarten, the children have spent time getting to know the forest rules and becoming aware of the boundaries. The children have been working as team, socialising and working on their problem-solving skills. The children took part in a range of activities such as tree climbing, den building, learning to balance on the balancing rope and learning how to use the tree swing independently, searching for minibeasts and jumping in muddy puddles. During the first two weeks block it was Easter so the children took part in an Easter egg hunt where they searched the forest surroundings climbing up trees looking for eggs. The children used their imagination when using the natural resources in the forest to re-enact stories. During these experiences the children developed new vocabulary when threading with wool and string. The children used mallets to create their own houses using sticks and wool. The children have really enjoyed their time at forest kindergarten that much that they have came back to nursery and shared their experience with their peers.
