🌾🧡 Our Little Scarecrow Makers! 🧡🌾
During our recent walk to the allotments, the children spotted a scarecrow! 👀🌻 We followed their interest and brought this exciting discovery back into our learning.
The children enjoyed using junk modelling to design and create their very own scarecrows. 📦🧻✂️ They used their imaginations, explored different materials and made lots of wonderful choices as they brought their creations to life.
We then linked their interest into our literacy learning by sharing the lovely story The Scarecrow’s Wedding 📚💍🌾. The children enjoyed listening to the story, talking about the characters and making connections between what they had seen on our allotment walk and what happened in the book.
It was wonderful to see how a simple moment of curiosity on our walk could grow into so much meaningful learning! 💕✨
🌱 Following the children’s interests, nurturing their curiosity and learning through play! 🌱
