🌧️ Learning through play at Adelaide! 💦
Who says a rainy day has to stop the fun?
Our children have been busy experimenting, exploring and problem-solving with our outdoor water runways!
There has been so much learning happening as the children work together to pour, test, observe and investigate how water travels along the channels.
Lots of predicting, experimenting, teamwork, communication and, of course, plenty of excitement when the water finally makes its way through!
This is what OPAL is all about – giving children the freedom, space and opportunities to explore, take risks, be creative and learn through play.
Sometimes the simplest resources create the richest learning experiences. ❤️

What a fantastic afternoon the Butterflies class at the Streetlife Museum!
Today our children had a wonderful trip to the Streetlife Museum, and we honestly couldn't have been prouder of them!
Mr Bentham and all the staff were absolutely blown away by how brilliantly the children behaved throughout the visit. They were a real credit to Adelaide.
What was particularly lovely to see was the amount of talking, discussion and collaboration taking place. The children were so engaged, sharing their ideas, asking questions and talking about life in the past. They were fascinated by how things have changed over time and loved exploring the different exhibits.
Most importantly, they had the BEST time! There were so many smiles, so much curiosity and some fantastic conversations along the way.
A huge well done to all our children and a massive thank you to the staff who helped make the trip so special. ❤️
We hope our Ladybirds have just as wonderful a time when they head off on their trip on Wednesday! 🐞
Another brilliant Adelaide adventure! 🌟 ...

🌿 What a fantastic start back after half term in EYFS! 🌿
It's been wonderful to see the children settle straight back into their learning, exploring, creating and, most importantly, having fun!
We've already seen some amazing learning taking place, including children working together to build their very own stream! Using spades, buckets and watering cans, they explored how water moves, experimented with its flow and worked out how to make it travel in different directions.
The language was fantastic, the problem-solving was brilliant and the level of curiosity and collaboration was just glorious to see.
From predicting what might happen, testing ideas, making adjustments and learning from one another, the children were completely immersed in their play.
This is what great early years learning looks like: children leading their own learning, following their interests, taking risks, developing language and discovering the world around them.
A brilliant reminder that some of the richest learning experiences come from a bit of mud, some water and plenty of imagination! 💦
What a lovely way to start the half term. We can't wait to see what comes next! ❤️
