Outside Classroom Day!

 We celebrated Outside Classroom Day this week. Room 2 children love spending time outside. We go down to Pūtikitiki often to explore nature and move our bodies. We think it is really important to do that. 

On this particular day, we explored the nature trail, we have been there before this was really the first time to explore it how children wanted to. 

I placed some cones on the nature trail so that the children could go up and down freely. I would like to remove the cones once the children have felt comfortable exploring the area. 

I asked the children to find natures' treasures. There were some rules around this. As the children have developed a lot about Tane Mahuta, the god of the forest, it was really important that we all look after nature. 

We do not leave rubbish behind in the forest. We do not pick leaves or flowers off the trees. We can pick things off the ground. We ask Tāne Mahuta permission to enter the forest. 

Look all the amazing nature's treasures we found!
