Welcome to our online floor book, a place to discover some of the things we have been doing at Outdoor Nursery.
(You will find the most recent week first.)
In February we finally had snow! We had such fun throwing snowballs, sledging and making snow angels.
In January we had a frosty start back in outdoor nursery but the hot chocolates and marshmallows around the fire warmed us up. We had lots of fun in the mud and conducting experiments.
In November we explored and discovered about lots of different things including the Northern Lights and Hibernation. We also celebrated Diwali by making our own Diva lamps and eating Indian cuisine around the campfire.

This week we have been using tools. We all listened and watched carefully and watched the 'tool talk' throughout. We have used loppers, peelers and a bow saw. We made a bow and arrows to use in our tin can alley.

This week we have been learning about birds and how to look after them. We have also been learning about hibernation, we all found this really interesting and we became engineers whilst building enclosures for the hibernating animals, we had lots of problems to solve.

We discovered that apple trees can live to be 100 years old, did apple printing and dipped apples in melted chocolate.
Towards the end of the week we explored pumpkins, carved them, roasted pumpkin seeds and did a Halloween hunt!

It has been all about leaves this week in Outdoor Nursery. We have identified them, made flowers, made leaf man pictures, measured them, used sticks to make marks on the leaf coloured forest floor, learnt all about the 4 seasons, printed with them and made a fantastic leaf bowl.

We decided we would use fabric bags for our book bags to help protect the planet.
They needed a print on the front to personalise them...
The first job we needed to do was fill the bird feeders; we are hoping that lots of different birds will visit us.
