planned outdoor learning experiences linked to the story

We absolutely loved the authority-wide approach, knowing that settings across PKC were engaging with the same story. I think that has been a great initiative from the PKC ELC Team!

The resources put together were extremely helpful, especially for new staff to the setting. It helped to develop practitioners' understanding of how maths and numeracy comes into so many different aspects of our day.

Our children and staff loved it and the children were really engaged with the story and all the learning. Block play indoors and outdoors was exceptionally good and their problem-solving and maths skills were really enhanced by this resource!
