On the 23rd of May, Nursery went on a very exciting Fieldwork visit to support their current learning expedition “Once Upon a Time”. The children undertook a Fairytale Trail, walking around our beautiful local area to find story like settings. We had the pleasure of finding long wavy meadows….
A magical fairy forest, with real fairies! We had to be very quiet to try and spot them, using only our tiptoes and whispering voices….
Over a wicked troll’s bridge….
Through more long, wavy meadows…
Down by the Riverbank to see if we could spot the Troll….
and finally on towards the park where we had a huge Teddy Bear’s picnic!
After the children had finished their delicious picnics, they had lots of fun mixing and playing on the park equipment, meeting new friends from either morning or afternoon nursery who they’d never met before. A beautiful transition opportunity for the year ahead. There were some beautiful drawings of fairytale characters on the children’s work boards and most of the children completed a fairytale object hunt which was lots of fun to spot natural objects that the Everywhere Bear had shown the children before in his postcards in their prior learning. What a beautiful day and visit this really was – great work Nursery!
