We took our learning outdoors with a family trip to Marina Barrage, where children and parents spent the day flying the sustainable kites families made together at home. These kites were created using recycled and reusable materials, giving the children a chance to see how everyday items can be transformed into something new and meaningful.
Despite the gloomy weather with the wind blowing and plenty of open space, families worked together to launch their kites into the sky. There was lots of laughter, running, cheering and helping one another. It was a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to bond through shared effort, patience, and joy.
Tying into our Term 2 theme, the children also took part in a simple hunt around the area, learning to notice how simple machines like ramps, pulleys and levers are used to make spaces more friendly and accessible.
