Winter walk

Date: 18th Jan 2023 @ 9:20pm

The children were so excited to see the snow this morning and were eager to get out and explore the signs of winter.

The children spent time talking about the clothes they needed to wear and how they would be safe when walking in the snow. They discussed how the floor might be slippy and icey and decided that they would walk really slowly to keep themselves safe. They also talked about the cold weather and decided that even though the sky was blue and sunny scarves and gloves and coats were definitley needed.

Together we wrapped up warm and stepped out into the cold morning. We listened carefully to our footprints crunches in the snow and felt how the grass felt hard under our feet. We touched the snow with our fingers and searched for frozen cobwebs and sticks. The children loved exploring our winter wonderland playground and had a great time playing in the snow. 

When we finally decided our fingers and toes needed warming up we headed inside and all had a nice cup of hot chocolate together to warm our bones. 

The children then spent the rest of their morning busy in the classroom making shopping lists so that they could make hot soups in the home corner, drawing winter pictures of snowflakes and snowmen and chatting about the winter weather.
