ENJOYING THE RAIN

At kindergarten we place high value on the importance of physically active outdoor play and exploration so with this in mind we have invested in some wet weather overalls, rain jackets and gumboots so that children have the opportunity to explore in the outdoors all day irrespective of the weather.

Today the children were initially puzzled as we encouraged their play in the rain and when the rain became heavy their automatic reaction was to run for shelter but it didn't take long for them to embrace this new play opportunity. As the day progressed the children eagerly awaited the rainfall and were thrilled as the puddles grew deeper. The children's songs changed from "rain, rain go away" to "rain, rain come back and play" as the showers came and went.

We are looking forward to more active exploration in the outdoors all day, every day at kindergarten!
