We began by becoming tree detectives – using autumn leaves to identify the trees around our site. 🍁🌿
In the mud kitchen, plenty of messy creations were being cooked up, while others dug deep in the mud pit in search of worms. 🪱
Teamwork was tested as the children worked together to build dens, battling against the wind to keep them standing.
Year 1 were especially fascinated by bug hunting – spotting worms, earwigs, beetles, ladybirds and snails. They even built a cosy home out of sticks for the insects to rest in.
Later, we gathered around the fire for a well-earned snack: toasted cinnamon apples with mugs of hot chocolate.
It was a day full of learning, laughter – and lots of mud!
