Two weeks in nature
During the time from the 29th of May till the 9th of June the children visited many areas of natural beauty near to the kindergarten. The open concept of the kindergarten enabled the staff to mix the children so that younger children were able to participate in activities. We went out on Alternative days and reflected on what they had experienced on the day that they were in the kindergarten using collected materials and photos which were taken as points of inspiration to start discussions and the telling of stories and experiences. The other day for example we walked through the long grass near Winzerla. They had 2 cameras and a Dictaphone with them and recorded their experiences. We noticed lots of wildlife on the way, different beetles, butterfly’s and caught grasshoppers. Another trip was made to a stream near the kindergarten. There was a tiny bridge, that we balanced over, except for one of us, who fell into the water and got wet.s There was wood for building a fire, for BBQ and cooking saussages. We sailed boats and threw stones in the river, which was really enjoyable. We also went to the Sängerplatz and spent a long day there, climbing through giant roots, crawling up sandy steep hills, having a pick nick and resting between the birds and the trees. We had so much fun within these two weeks that we plan to have a nature day every Wednesday from now on.
