Springtime in P.2
14th Apr 2026
We have now entered the second month of Spring and P2 have been very busy engaging in springtime learning activities outdoors as part of our Play Based Learning.
We have been:
- Weeding our raised beds in preparation for planting our vegetables. This has required a lot of physical effort and fantastic teamwork.
- Litter picking - the girls and boys are good at putting their rubbish in the bin but sometimes the birds bring the rubbish out and leave it scattered on the ground.
- Raking up the grass and lifting it using the litter pickers.
- Learning how to balance, push and tip a large wheelbarrow full of weeds and grass.
- Planting flowers.
- Reading outdoors in our newly refurbished outdoor kitchen / reading corner.
- Learning new throwing, catching and hitting skills as part of our PE curriculum
- Getting outside more to “cook” in our outdoor kitchen. We have been making delicious “soups” etc.
- Having outdoor picnics.
