Claires fox cub's

Today we visited the train station 🚉 and stood on the bridge as trains went under. They blew their horns and the train drivers waved back at us. We talked about -
* Electric, steam and cargo trains.
*Barriers, signals and lights.
*Directions, futher, nearer, under, over and through.
*passengers, drivers, ticket conductors, platforms, ticket office and cargo. (And much more).
We also enjoyed using our gross motor skills at two lovely parks and then went to a cafe to choose and order our own lunches. Lots of awe and wonder=fabulous language and engagement 🤩 [Following child's interest of trains]

●Took a bus to the park
●Pitched a tent, using a hammer to knock the tent pegs into the ground.
●Acted out the story of the 3 little pigs. ●Drew pictures of a banana and a badger ●Threw a ball for a dog
●Ran around with tarps like super heroes
●Got dragged up and down hills on a tarp ●Had a lovely picnic
●Named passing vehicles.
●Talked about our families, holidays
and played at the park, before heading back to base for lunch.

On our learning walk this morning we heard a helicopter 🚁, recognized numbers, Said good morning to people from our community, smelt lavender, looked closely and felt the form of tiny conker shells, found cherries growing on a tree, helped ourselves to a pot of sunflower offerings from a neighbors front garden, watched a bumble bee 🐝 stopped and quieted ourselves so a horse 🐎didn't get spooked and looked closely at its different coloured hoofs , said hello softly to the rider and the awe and wonder moment ...seeing and counting the horses poo and splats, of course 😅.
We also met up with other children and had races up and down the hill, made flower soup, a picnic snack, park and played ball games. Below is a picture of us learning the life cycle of sunflowers and sequencing. You can imagine which part of all this that the children told their parents/siblings about (🐎 💩 ) 😅. All in a day's play as we say 🤪

Ice-cream🍦role play... Lots of rich language and engagement 🥰🤩 the children extended the activity by adding resources found around the garden, which added even more language and engaged our senses too 🌿

A Fox cub enjoying a trip to our local museum... A day of wonder and Awe 🤩. This 1:1 session helped us to use 'spectacular' describing words like, gigantic, enormous and huge in exciting context. We also used lots of verbs and directional words navigating our journey on public transport.

H🐰ppy Easter to everyone, especially all our Fox cubs!

Cheeky nandos after soft play 😋.
We talked about what traffic cones are for, whilst traveling on the bus along with I spy colour game. We independently asked for a menu, chose our own lunch and used the frozen yogurt machine. All after an active morning being timed on the soft play circuit. Not forgetting our baby chinos after buying new resources...back to setting to practice our putting skills on our own crazy golf course.

De-heading flowers and pulling those cheeky weeds out with the roots still in tact. 🌷🌷🌷🌷

We never tire of nature, it is full with awe and wonder. 🌿🪈🌦💧🌳🌾🪹

:nests and wreaths made from weaving willow twigs, with a grass bed and willow buds as worms.
:Jumping in puddles and running free practicing our adjective words.

Using our imagination helps us later in life for telling and writing stories.
