This is what some mornings at Mordros look like 🌿🍂

Conkers in playdough, checking on our worms in the compost and giving some of them a new home in the garden. 🪱

Stopping to inspect a mushroom we spotted, before heading over to the mud kitchen for some very serious cooking. 🍄‍🟫🥣 (We left the mushrooms exactly where we found them)

Nothing too planned, just following the children's curiosity and seeing where the morning takes us.

Autumn might just be our favourite season at Mordros. 🍂🤎

There is just so much for little hands and curious minds to discover.

Today in the woods, the children gathered fallen leaves and sticks, holding hands as they wandered, chatting away about everything they could see along the way. We collected our treasures to make Autumn wands, carefully wrapping and spinning wool around the sticks, a lovely little challenge for their fine motor skills and coordination.

Once our wands were finished, there was plenty of imaginative play as we took them to the park, waving them through the trees and creating our own little adventures together. 🪄🍁

Today we spent the morning at Clay Country Dairy. 🐄🥛

The children played while listening to the cows mooing in the fields and watching them graze, before we talked about where our milk comes from. Then it was time for everyone to vote on which flavour milk to choose... chocolate was the winner! 🤎

Sharing a bottle of milk together might seem like a simple moment, but it's these real-life experiences that help children make meaningful connections with the world around them. Learning doesn't always happen through planned activities, sometimes it happens through conversations, curiosity and sharing everyday moments together.

💚 Adults who actively engage in adventurous play and enjoy the outdoors are crucial, as children learn to value the environment by imitating the positive, curious habits of their role models - Friedrich Froebel 🌿

Last month's learning about our coasts had us collecting little treasures from the beach. This week, those same shells have become part of our learning as we explore summer gardens, pollinators and the importance of biodiversity. 🐝🌼

Using our shells, the children made tiny water stations for bees and other pollinators, while we chatted about all the different ways we can help care for the creatures we share our world with. From planting flowers to leaving water out on hot days, even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Helping children to understand that even the tiniest creatures have an important role to play is how we begin to nurture a love and respect for the natural world. 🌿🤍

These are some of the ways we’ve kept cool this week ☀️💦

With the temperatures so high, our days have been centred around keeping cool, staying hydrated and still spending as much time in nature as we can. We’ve sought out the sea breeze on the beach, paddled in streams through the woods, played in the dunes, and made the most of paddling pools and water play back in the garden.

24/06/2026

With the extreme heat warning in place today, we made a few changes to our garden to help keep everyone safe and cool, we added extra shade, put out the paddling pool and lots of coloured water play to gently encourage the children into the cooler spaces. ☀️💦

We’re very fortunate that, being an old Cornish granite house, the front rooms stay beautifully cool, so naps and quieter moments can happen there while the garden remains open for water, play and plenty of fresh air.

Just need to add the ice and the Mordros mindees 🤍

Our Summer Solstice breakfast didn't quite go to plan this morning. We had hoped to cook over the fire outside, but the Cornish fog and mizzle had other ideas, and we felt our dumplings might end up a little soggy!☀️🌿

Instead, we lit the stove indoors. The children helped bring in the wood, watched the fire come to life, and chatted about the longest day and all their favourite things about summer. One little one shared how cooking eggs with his mummy while camping is his favourite summer activity. 🤍

After breakfast, we headed back outside to ride bikes, cook in the mud kitchen and water the flowers. A gentle, simple way to celebrate the season ahead.

Our conversations about the Summer Solstice took us to the Hurlers today. ☀️🌿

In true Cornish fashion, the day arrived with fog and mizzle rather than sunshine! But the children didn't mind one bit. They explored the ancient stones, ran across the moor and enjoyed their lunch amongst the misty landscape.

A lovely reminder that nature is beautiful in all weathers, and that adventures don't need sunshine to be magical. 🤍
