Our afternoon session was definitely going to be an interesting one! We all dressed ready for the weather in welly boots and waterproofs and braved the rain. On entering the park, the children were immediately drawn to several different small puddles which they enjoyed plodging in.

We decided to venture further into the park to look for bigger puddles. On approaching a corner of the park we were confronted by the largest puddle any of us had ever seen. We stood around the puddle, poised ready to jump. After a “1, 2, 3” we all jumped into the puddle. Everyone smiled and giggled as the water shot up and splashed us all in the face. Smiles and shrieks of delight all round.

The children then decided to experiment with different ways of moving through the puddle. Can we roll? Can we roly poly? Can we run? There was only one way to find out. We needed to try and try we did. We explored different ways off moving through the puddle but at the end, we decided that splashing was simply the most fun! The rain and the cold were not going to make us stop but soon it was time to return to nursery and get warmed up with a delicious tea. What a fun day we had all had! We are hopeful it will rain next week too!
