Outside Play


The park has been an exciting place for the Rivers Class this spring. Children are more and more interested in playing together and, as a result, they are inspiring each other to try new things.

We see a lot of upside-down playing. 


As well as climbing to new places and sliding down bravely. 



Children are learning how to pump their legs to keep a swing going. 


Recently, when we had the park to ourselves, the Rivers Class had a backwards day.  A day to build our muscles while climbing up the slide and by finding new ways to walk down the steps. 






Soccer has been a popular destination as children build kicking and other ball skills. 


And in the fields, children have gathered together for discovery.  
Some children have worked together to build things like a fire. 


Others have noticed and built letters as they investigated. 



It was an exciting moment when someone found a hole.  It was probably a snake hole, they all decided. When they noticed a police officer, they decided to report the hole.  
The police officer graciously investigated.
