As an introduction to our new topic the children had a fun-filled day exploring different textures on our senses walk. They walked through soft sand, squelchy mud, smooth pebbles, cool water, coarse grass, leaves and spongy bark. It was all very exciting!! They collected vocabulary to describe what they felt and back in class were able to access an online thesaurus to see if they could find any more impressive synonyms..........ask them if they can remember any of the wonderful vocabulary we found.
They also had a great time exploring our Nature Area, identifying a range of plants and having their very own minibeast hunt.
They designed butterfly gardens, made their own plant pots and planted seeds but I think their favourite part of the day was meeting our new school pets. Watch this space for their new names !!
