Guest Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 We have a chance to refurbish our outside area but, being new to foundation stage, I am not sure what sort of things to buy. I would love to look at some planning for outside areas to do with all the areas of learning so I can see what sort of things to buy. ANY ideas gratefully received... Thank you Suzy
Marion Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) I would recommend reading any of Helen Bilton's books. Lots of past posts on the subject http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...&hl=outdoor http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...&hl=outdoor http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...&hl=outdoor http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...&hl=outdoor http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...&hl=outdoor beware.pdf Edited October 27, 2007 by Marion
narnia Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Marion, I love the poster you've added....................it really sums up what we want to do with our 'postage stamp' garden
Marion Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 We only just discovered that if you crawl inside our beech hedge you can actually climb all the way to the top which is what was happening on the pictures of the children peeping out
Guest Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Great pictures Marion. Looking at the weather today, I'm going to be brave next week and have lots of 'wet' play outdoors. Being as its my last few weeks before closing I want to do ALL the things possible with the children before it's too late. Peggy
Marion Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 There's lots of fun to be had with a hose pipe and some umbrellas
Guest Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Lovely pictures Marion! The two little boys in the hedge look so innocent (not!).
Marion Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I caught them both 10 feet up inside the hedge. "How did you get up there?" "just put your foot on that bit that sticks out and we'll help you the rest of the way." was the response
Guest Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Does anyone have any ideas of where to get a shelter/canopy from? I have been given a large bugdet to get one as this is one of the main reasons why my outside area is not used fully. Also do you think a material canopy is best or a plastic one?? Thanks Beth
Guest Wolfie Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I've seen adverts for companies who do canopies in all the main early years magazines recently - EYE, Nursery World, etc. You could try there for starters?
