A reception child asked this week-"Why can't the woods be our playground?"
He had so enjoyed being outdoors and having loose materials to use, he wanted to know why he couldn't spend more time like that.
Who can blame him when there is so much potential in the natural world...
Sticks to dig with: 
or to measure the depth of mud...
..or to make fires...
...or a shelter.
There are berries, leaves and bark for making art and jewellery...
And then think about mud, sand, snow, rocks...
