On Monday Year R and Year One visited The Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Romsey.
This was part of their topic work on Living and Growing.
Both classes have a pupil with a visual impairment; one partially sighted and one registered blind.
This kind of first hand experience, where the children can use all of their senses in a rich learning
environment is an essential element to our provision at Kings Copse.
Close-up inspection of fern leaves.
Hands-on a Giant Sequoia - the worlds largest tree, with amazing bark!
Swaying on a bamboo rope bridge.
Some striking art work, both visual and tactile!
An nothing makes a boy's day better than a good bug hunt!!
Finally...you can only begin to understand what a tree is when you meet one...
...and touch it's dry rough bark, walk around the fat trunk and listen to the leaves rustling in the wind....
...but no climbing today! I think we've had enough fun.
Thank You to all the staff at Hillier's for making the children feel so welcome and giving them a wonderful insight into the wonders of Mother Nature.
