Outdoor Kindy Week 2104, Term 4, Day 2
November 11, 2014Outdoor Kindy Week 2014. Term 4, Day 4
November 13, 2014What a stark contrast todays 30 plus temperatures provided to the experience of rain, cold and mud of outdoor kindy weeks in term 2 and 3.
Today was all about water! We constructed a paddling ‘pool’ in the sandpit….
Everyone enjoyed the cool water. Some immersed themselves in the whole experience, literally….
While some bided their time until they were free to explore and enjoy the tranquillity of the water and being alone in it…
We constructed with wire ….
There was water play and even water fights where ever you looked,
and the question “I wonder what would happen if I filled my hat with water and put it on ?” was explored amid much laughter and excitement…
The sandpit also saw the construction of a cascading pond which one of the parents bought in for us, complete with some pretty impressive landscaping…
We took some cream, put it in a jar with marbles and then shook it, and shook it and shook it some more….
eventually our cream separated out and we were left with buttermilk and some delicious fresh butter (which looked just like the butter from the shop!) to spread on bread…
As the day drew to a close, we came together under the dappled shade of the apple tree and enjoyed an iceblock and chatted about our favourite part of the day.

Loved the way the children worked together to build our amazing swimming pool and landscaped sandpit and then worked as a team to trap and trick each staff member ready for the water bottle spraying and the trust they showed in allowing us to squirt them back. We had so much fun today even though the weather was hot we kept cool in many ways.

The kids just look like they are having so much fun. I really don’t want this experience to ever finish. Kobi comes home so tired every day but the things he learns about and they way you go about it is just priceless
Thank you
