Dragonflies

What a beautiful sunny afternoon it was! The pond is looking much healthier and our new group thoroughly enjoyed exploring it. The main highlight for the children today was the visit from a rather large dragonfly! They used large sticks held over the pond to tempt it closer and waited very patiently. It eventually landed on Jessica's stick. Isn't it beautiful?

The children have also enjoyed a team game of hunters and mammoths, where those who were hiding had to leave flour behind as a clue. It got quite intense and we found some great new hiding spots.

Other activities spotted today were den building and mallet use (some fabulous team work and sharing going on there!), some woodland crafts, messy mud kitchens and of course, climbing and swinging from trees!
