One of the morning, dark clouds rolled in, turning the sky dark as charcoal. The wind howled, rustling the leaves and sending a chill through the air. Tom's (horse) heart raced as he felt the first drops of rain.

“A storm is coming!” he shouted. “We need to get back to the barn!”

The horses neighed, sensing the urgently. Tom jumped on Bella (another horse), guiding Max and Daisy as they galloped across the field. The wind whipped their hair wildly and their feet thundered against the ground. Quickly, the sky was filled with a brilliant flash of lightning and a loud clap of thunder. Daisy jumped back in fear, but Max gave her a soft push to get moving.

They reached the barn just as the rain began to pour. Tom quickly slid the heavy doors shut, keeping the storm outside. Inside, the barn creaked as the wind battered against it, and the rain hammered on the roof.

“It’s okay, my friends,” Tom said, stroking their necks. He lit a lantern, casting a warm glow around them. The horses cuddle together.

To calm them, Tom began to hum a

Song.

Gradually, the horses relaxed, their breathing slowing as they listened.

As the storm passed, Tom opened the barn doors to reveal a beautiful rainbow stretching across the sky. He smiled at his friends, patting each horse. “We made it through together,” he said. In that moment, they knew that no matter what storms came their way, they would always have each other.

Chasing light away.
“Quick, to the barn!”

“Quick, to the barn!”
As lightning flashing

The storm passed away

A rainbow shines

We all are happy 11

As always together!

I start walking towards the farm Infront of my house. My feet crunching on the gravel path. The birds are awake too, their cheerful songs filling the air. The wind is strong. It whistles in my ears and pushes against me, making my clothes flap.

The cold wind wraps around me like a chilly blanket. I shiver a little but keep walking by listening to my beath and footsteps. Ahead, I see the horses in their field. They're munching on the bright green grass, their tails swishing happily.

As I get closer, the horses notice me. They lift their heads, ears perked up. They walked towards me, probably thinking I have treats. I feel bad that I didn't bring anything today. "Sorry, my friends," I say softly.

I stop and look around at the countryside. The rolling hills, the barn in the distance - it all feels like a painting come to life. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. The smell of fresh grass and damp ground fills my nose.

For a moment, I imagine I'm back in time. I was a farmer from long ago, starting my day's work. Discovering this beautiful place why really admiring me.

I open my eyes and smile. This morning walk is like a gentle meditation, calming my mind and refreshing my body. As I turn to head back home, I feel grateful for this peacefulness to begin my day.

It helps me imagine stories. Sometime I can picture myself in greenery place.

This feeling reminds me of Dadirri listening to nature. It's about feeling connected to the land and everything around me.  (MiriamRoseFoundation, 2017)

Children actively investigate and interact with their surroundings through play, using their senses of taste, smell, touch, sound, and sight. Through this enquiry, they are able to think critically, solve problems and recognise the connections between different things in their surroundings. Children can practice fine motor skills and learn about balance and direction. (Wilson 2018, pp. 1–18)

Children actively create nerve connections explore their brain when they use their senses to explore their environment through sensory play, it is important for children brain development. (Gano & Krull, 2020)

For children's growth, imaginative play like role playing or pretending play is very important. Children create stories and try various roles throughout these scenarios. 

There are plenty of opportunities for sensory encounters in the natural world. Children can interact with a variety of textures, noises, and sights when they play outside. These activities, which include sandbox play, tree climbing, and wildlife observation, offer unlimited possibilities that imagination and physical activity. Children gain the ability to navigate objects in their surroundings and enhance their motor skills through these kinds of experiences, which promotes the development of their cognitive and physical abilities.

In 16 to 18 weeks time unborn baby can listening to their very first sound Dr Ibrahim said. Also he said natural sound is the best for children to learn like vocal chords, clapping, stumping, snapping. Children are socializing with music, learning language through music. Music express love, emotion, joy. (H. Baltagi)

Children who engage with nature, increase in curiosity, problem-solving skills, and wonder.

1.    Add natural materials into indoor activities like sticks, stones, rocks, crunching dried leaves, adding voice.

2.    Excursion sensory walks.

3.    Remaking natural sound and creating peaceful learning spaces,

4.    Encourage children to listen and identify different sounds.

5.    When children engage in dramatic play, adding dress-up clothes and props for imaginative play.

6.    Incorporating storytelling and role-playing.

7.    Add movement into daily learning activities.

8.    Offer a variety of physical challenges to support motor skill development.
