Proof that learning doesn’t have to happen in a classroom. Out in the environment and learning through play. Seeing numbers in real life experiences. Yesterday we searched for letters on the Rufford Abbey summer trail and numbers on the life saving equipment around the lake. We talked about how to keep ourselves safe near water and of course quacked at all those ducks 🦆 🥰
