Today was KS1s Muddy Puddles Day and despite the especially cold weather, the children enjoyed a wide array of activities in the wonderful great outdoors.
The morning’s activities focused on knots. The children learnt to tie a one thread and two thread knot before progressing on to tying their shoe laces! The children persevered so well and many wanted to continue their learning at playtime and at home.
In the afternoon, our activities were linked to our topic work on ‘toys.’ The children took part in a range of outdoor games that children in the Victorian era would have played. Toys at this time were very expensive and children would spend a lot of time outdoors, playing in the street with their friends. The children had the opportunity to play hopscotch, pass the slipper, Kim’s game, football and ‘hoop and stick.’
The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring these games. Here are some photos of us in action!
