We rescued frogs and snails from the backyard. Children were carrying magnifying glass on nature trail and they saw them.

During our outdoor walk, the children discovered some empty snail shells. Their curiosity prompted them to ask questions like "Why did the snail come out of its shell?" and "Will the snail come back to its shell?"

Thus, their little task that day was to find out the answers with their parents and share them when they get back to school tomorrow.

We do a nature walk and get the children to express what colour they see around them and let them link the different objects of same colour. The children get to share their likings for the same colours and objects around them, they partner together and continue the walk. The partners keep changing until we finish the walk.

Children enjoyed outdoor learning. They can explore more things and objects during outdoor. They can learn through their five senses that are involved in our daily life.

The best outdoor learning is bringing the children outside and enjoying nature.

This activity encouraged the children to use the necessary to avoid the rains getting wet.

The children had to work as a team and hold the board together. Let's have fun with our friends.

Brought the children out for a Nature Walk - have them observe the plants and trees around them. As we were on the topic on Climate Change, I linked back to the fact that trees provide us with shelter and does help mitigate the urban heat island effect.

While outdoors, the children took pictures of the plants and trees around them and came back to draw what they observed as well.

Wear baby in a sling or carrier and go for a walk in the woods, local park or wherever you can interact with nature. Point out all the different sights (colorful flowers, fuzzy moss on the trees) and sounds (birds chirping, brook babbling) as you talk to baby about what you’re seeing and hearing. Let baby reach out and touch safe items like leaves, petals and blades of grass. Simply being outside is a wonderful way to engage baby’s senses without overstimulating them.

Children are encouraged to collect dried leaves, twigs ,flowers and seeds to create art pieces. Transient art or loose parts play is a creative experience of placing open- ended resources together on a surface. Children will get opportunity to explore shapes, space, pattern, positioning, colours, texture and overlapping.

As we all know, Infants learn best when they are provided the opportunity to experience sensory learning. Involving young children in an outdoor waterplay allows them to develop holistically. Not only they are able to develop their gross and fine motor skills, being outdoor allows them to experience nature. As an educator, I truly enjoyed witnessing their minds develop as their little hands explore and discover!

Let's conduct rich sensorial experience for our little ones!

Children will explore with light and shadows. Using light to create their art!

Not only that for the older age, Teachers can arrange a few timings where the children can come out to carry out this art.

Children can come out at anytime of the day to carry out this art activity. They will get to explore how light at different timings will affect the size of the shadows.

You can integrate lots of domains into this outdoor lesson! Such as DOW and Language & Literacy!

Set a goal for the class to look around for different plants and animal, things that are not listed jn the class goal can be considered an added bonus. Teacher can take a picture of things that children find, share about what type of plants or animals they are and can be adapted to teach different domains.

During nature walk, the children were encouraged to look for different animals in their surroundings such as snails, tadpoles, grasshoppers and crickets. The children were encouraged to ask simple questions about their surroundings and find answers through observing and exploring. The children caught some tadpoles and bring it back to class to continue their observations. Some of the children brought it home and parents were involved in sharing their children's learning via padlet.

Recently, we organised a field trip to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and we involved our children and their parents to collect twigs and other natural materials to create a raft each (we provided the families with strings to tie together! We also float the rafts in water and experiment the best way to tie the twigs together. Experience life as how it was in the olden days and pick up important life skills such as determination, team work and thinking skills !

With parents' consent, the children excitedly wore their raincoats and explored and played with the rain. They compared how the park looked like before raining, during raining and after raining. One of their observations were the leaves and trees around them and shared that the colours of leaves and trees became darker. They took some leaves before it rained, leaves when it was raining and leaves after raining. It was a fun and unforgettable experience for the children!! :)

Talking and sharing about the outdoors such as plants and flowers. Children can identify colours and observe the different shades :-)

Aside to that, children can also touch and feel textures of the plants for a simple sensorial activity.

I once got my k2 children to bring in their raincoats and boots. After a heavy downpour, we all got dressed and explored puddles, making simple music through different actions. Some actions include jumping on puddles, using our hands to tap the puddles and even using materials found in the natural environment to splash the puddles.(leaves, twigs, branches etc). The learning experience was indeed authentic for both the children and even myself.

Mud kitchen is a wonderful outdoor nature play resource for children. A mud kitchen is essentially an outdoor play space where kids can pretend to cook and prepare food using natural materials like mud, sand, flowers, twigs and water. Easy little outdoor recipes can also be given to them for them to create. Another fun activity would be mud painting too!

Make a crown. This is really simple and fun. Start by cutting a piece of card the right size for your child’s head. Join the ends together to make a crown that fits your child’s head. cover the card in double-sided sticky tape and then let your child collect nature to stick on it like small sticks, leaves and flowers.
