It is World Sight Day today. A day to raise awareness of eye health. We used this as a starting point for our learning today.

We looked at and drew eyes belonging to a wide range of animals; we learnt about the different parts of an eye; we played blindfold games; we made telescopes and periscopes; we made eye masks...
All this on top of our usual continuous provision.
Oh and we harvested tomatoes, courgette potatoes and herbs for a delicious soup.

Busy Wednesday!
Our owl themed session saw us dissecting owl pellets and identifying the tiny mammal and bird bones inside; owl art; making binoculars and using the wildlife canera. We also stacked hammocks, did lots of digging and of course had fun on the tree net.

We dug up some potatoes from the garden so we could make chips to have with home made ketchup.

Did you see Kelly Bright on Panorama yesterday? She talks a lot of sense.

An absolutely wonderful day in the woods today. So many busy, happy children showcasing all areas of holistic development!
Social - endless chatter and laughter; collaboration; reconnection from friends who have been absent for some time; new connection for our new-starter who had an amazing first day.
Physical - bouncing on the treenet; quadrobics from the tree pack; swinging; climbing; pulling and pushing; fine motor development from pouring, using scissors and pipettes.
Intellectual- learning about the harvest moon; experimenting with colour changing butterfly pea flowers; learning how to build a den; helping develop risk assessments.
Creative - learning a new dance; colouring; painting; face painting; small world play; listening to stories.
Emotional - self-regulation; developing independence; sharing space and time.
Spiritual - chilling in the hammocks; observing the wide range of fungi; egg collecting from the hens; spotting tussock caterpillers; awe and wonder at fire lighting.
And that's just scratching the surface!

How are you getting on exploring our new website?

What is your favourite page?

Mine is definitely "Children's Corner"!

I can't get over how well Zoe captured my brief on this. I love it!

However, there are a few things to keep in mind when using the internet, especially if you are looking at this on your own.

Behind the scenes at WN, my son's wonderful girlfriend, Zoe has been beavering away using her skills in digital art to create a truly magnificent new website for Woodland Nurture.

It is stunning, informative and I think it sums WN up beautifully.

Thanks must also go to Lauren Heaton for the fabulous photos.
