Our afternoon class has begun a new inquiry project on camping (the children chose this as their topic of interest). We have been reading books about camping and trees and have also changed our dramatic play area into a camping scene complete with trees, tents, and a fishing 'pond'.
The children have been very creative with the natural materials - often spending a great deal of time creating 'campfires' - which are intricate designs using a variety of the materials available (and often using every last piece of these items!). We have also observed them sliding the beads onto sticks to roast 'marshmallows' over their created campfire.
Here are some photos of their creative work (these photos are from both the morning and the afternoon classes):
