The Reception children thoroughly enjoyed puddle jumping and water play as part of their Outdoor Learning. This session provided many opportunities for physical development as well as creative and sensory exploration.

Using brooms, they spread the water, experimenting with movement, all of which supports the development of their gross motor skills. They also added some colour to the fences, strengthening their fine motor control. A wonderfully messy, colourful lesson that the children were fully engaged with and loved every minute of!
