There’s a worm at the bottom of our garden…
Free-Flow we’re playing outside with Emily when they discovered a worm! They took time to observe closely together and they noticed how long he was and how much he wriggled around. One of the children placed a small twig in front of him and Emily commented and asked, “I wonder if he will go underneath, …
Teamwork makes the dream work…
(and gets the ducks onto a ‘boat’ too!) Stephen closely observed some great teamwork going on recently in the water area within Free-Flow!

Beep, Beep!! …… Coming through?!?!
Teamwork made the dream work… and experimentation and investigation was definitely the name of the game!!
