EY: A Force of Nature

Hi all !

The children noticed forces and the weight of objects during our previous sessions. We looked at some ideas about forces and investigated how we could use it. We watched a few clips about natures forces and how this can affect our environment 




The children have been getting to know each other well, and enjoy working as a team.






So after forces of nature [particularly Arin] we moved to the wind and trees for further advice.

Nature Club ECA


Hi all !

Thanks for signing up to the Nature club ECA. The children are very comfortable helping each other in class. They have been investigating many different aspects of their school environment and other aspects of school,  such as weather, shadows and recycling.

The sessions will take a child-led form further into the term. The children are not short on stimulation and interests when it comes to nature, and are keen to explore as much as possible. 








Why do shadows get longer? What time of day are shadows at their longest?

Which shadows have you noticed recently? 


The children have made recyclable envelopes, explored seeds and their flight, noticed birds and listen to animal sounds. Next week we shall be making kites to observe how the wind works.

See you soon !!
