Our school has an Outdoor Learning Committee that I am a part of. We all feel very strongly that the environment where the children play outside is just as important as the environment inside our school. We have worked hard to make our playground an area where the kids can run, exercise explore and yes...learn! Outside play plays an important role in children's development! They are working gross motor muscles and getting must needed exercise. They learn how to solve problems such as when social disagreements arise. They learn empathy as they help friends who get hurt. They learn to take risks and see where their limits are and feel empowered as they take those risks and succeed. They create games and role play. They learn science concepts as they discover things in nature and learn to look closer and ask questions about what they see as they discover new things. They learn kindness as they try to save an insect in danger or nurture a plant. They are literally learning about life and life skills as they play outside, so we knew the environment needed to support that. We had an area that we were having some problems with in the middle of our asphalt area. We wanted to turn it into something all of the kids could explore and benefit from and decided to create a Barefoot Sensory Path. We came up with a design and my husband figured out how to make it so that it would be sturdy and last. Our amazing PTO gave us funds to purchase the materials and we had fun shopping at Lowes for items that would provide the sensory experiences we were hoping for. Our team came in on a Saturday and went to work. Our maintenance team had dug the area down four inches so that it would be even with the asphalt. We put down a layer of paver sand, and then the 4x4's. We glued some materials to 2x2 pieces of plywood. The sections were all 2x2. We filled the sections with paver base and tamped it solid. My son even came and helped! Here is the finished frame. Of course, we had to test it out! Here is the finished path!! We were so excited for the kids to try it! It was a huge success!! The kids absolutely loved walking on it with bare feet, crawling on it and feeling with their hands and even laying in it enjoying the warmth radiating from it from being in the sun. Another new area we created was an area to create roads, ramps, etc. using scrap wood, cars, signs and other loose parts. This lovely lady below had the vision for this area! We also added an area to really work those gross motor muscles. Mr. Doyle created a boundary to keep it all contained to one area. We filled it with stumps, logs, and large branches. The kids have created obstacle courses and love lifting these up to show how strong they are! They jump, balance and create here. They collaborate and problem solve. They use both critical and creative thinking skills. This is a great area to develop 21st Century Learning Skills as they play! For our nature lovers, we have an area with plants for them to explore and observe. Some are edible such as peppermint and fennel. We have cone flowers, milkweed, irises, sunflowers and more. This area is a great place to explore and observe insects also! Here are some other things on our playground where they can let lose and have fun! Our playground is still a work in progress! We have many more ideas that we want to implement some day! One step at a time!

Welcome to Wonderschool! I try to make resources that will inspire wonder and help children to explore, learn and investigate. This is the alphabet that started the whole shop off! It took me an age but here it is. The whole alphabet in uppercase letters.I love a good resource and I come back to this one all the time! It's great to have it displayed or in the outdoor area for the children to create their own! Due to the Etsy file size restrictions you will get two files to download. One file contains A-M and the other N-Z. They are in a PDF format and you get images just smaller than A4 size, one card per page. I haven't added a border to these ones as I find people generally prefer to use them borderless. If you'd really like some with a border do get in touch and i'll try my best to make some asap! You can print them the A4 size or select 'multiple per page' in the printing option menu to create smaller cards (easier for tiny hands) You can download your digital products as soon as you complete your purchase! No waiting for the delivery van! Please take note that this is a digital image and not a product that will be posted out to you. If there is a resource you'd like to see that isn't currently in my shop please get in touch and i'll try by best to make it! I now have a lowercase version too! https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1059788270/lowercase-nature-alphabet-cards?ref=shop_home_active_1 Due to the nature of digital products i'm afraid I cannot accept refunds.
