Children's Pages - Foundation Stage Unit

Outdoor Activities

We are currently developing the outdoor area to allow the children the opportunity to explore and enhance their learning in a safe and imaginative environment. We now have colourful markings on the ground to encourage the children's number recognition, counting, knowledge of shapes and sequences.

We hope to build up a variety of learning boxes to help explore the outdoor world eg:

• Weather boxes
• An investigation box
• A Construction box
• A Gardening box
• A Mark Making box

We have a wooden

• House/station/hospital in which the children can develop their imagination and social skills in a variety of role play scenarios
• An outdoor sandpit with low level stepping logs
• A quiet seating area
• A wooden train with engines

These will all help create an outdoor classroom in which the areas of learning can be developed in tandem with the terms planning.

Parents are invited to share in the children's experiences and volunteers to help with outdoor activities are most welcome.
