Outdoor Learning

Today we asked the children to find their very own 'sit spot' in our forest area where they could sit in silence and be present in their surroundings.  They were given a journal style book and introduced to  5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 .
To bring yourself to the present:

                                     5 things you see

4 things you hear

3 things you touch

2 things you smell

1 thing that’s happening right now

The children sat their spot for 5 minutes in silence.  It was quite spectacular to see them all so engaged in their surroundings.
