Wonderful Welly Wednesday

On Wednesday afternoon pupils from our Reception class put on their wellies and head out side for Welly Wednesday. The aim of the afternoon is to provide an opportunity for pupils to develop, to learn and to enjoy themselves in a safe environment in which children can take risks, make choices and initiate their own learning. During our Welly Wednesday sessions we encourage pupils to appreciate and care for the natural environment and it supports the development of practical life skills in an outdoor environment.

Finally the sessions help pupils to develop self-esteem, confidence and a positive disposition to learning through the completion of small, achievable tasks. Pupils develop social and team working skills in a secure, happy and welcoming environment. 

Here are some Reception pupils enjoying their Welly Wednesday afternoon with Mrs King...

 

A great frosty afternoon to go and explore! Look at what we found on our adventures!
