Trees and Tyres

Often when we put out objects and materials at the start of the session, the children might not even give them a thought, preferring to have a rummage inside for things they've found themselves. This time, they engaged with the set up and it certainly looked like a lot of fun!

We balanced.

Got tied up...

...and escaped.





Built stuff.


Chose songs to listen to.

Decorated the floor.




Played a 'gladiators' style game.

Did some DJ'ing.

Got some insightful feedback from the children.




Moved the Shop furniture outside...

...so the kids played inside!

Set up an obstacle course.




Enjoyed our DIY tyre swing.

Cleaned off some rubbish graffiti.




Used the trolley as transport.

Built a tunnel.
And attempted this!
