Nursery Winter Walk

Lesson: Understanding the World

Class: Nursery Year: 2025 - 2026

Today, Nursery had a wonderful Winter walk. We noticed the trees were bare now, compared to our Autumn walk, and the berries had all been eaten by the birds. We even heard some birds singing. The children enjoyed walking through the woodlands and eventually spotted a fir tree along the way.  We compared deciduous and evergreen trees, and spotted new buds and even some catkins hanging on the bracnches. The children felt the grass and realised that the frost had now melted into water, due to the warmth from the wintery sun. We discussed the leaves on the ground and talked about how they squash down to make rich soil to feed the trees. To help with this process we stomped our feet as we walked through the wet, soggy leaves. Finally, we ran back across the field towards the gate. What a fun time we all had!
