Children’s Research

B3 was applying some golden glitter to their paper plate, and after they had applied it, told their parent and us that ‘this was goldilocks with her golden hair.

K and the other child interacted with one another (they had met for the first time this week). They were picking up acorns and burying them in the sand in the wheelbarrow. They wheeled the barrow around the site, stopping to look in the greenhouse and chatting to each other.

Child 4 has found a small purple pot and poured water from water bottle and a dead leaf. Has gone to look at the tree further away. Poured excess water onto the tree. Taking seeds and adding to the water pot, has taken back to the pea planter. Starts to prepare a shop with friends to sell the seeds.

Child A2 was swinging on branches and running around. A2 repeatedly said ‘come with me’. A2 then found an acorn while exploring the herbaceous garden.

K and the other child interacted with one another (they had met for the first time this week). They were picking up acorns and burying them in the sand in the wheelbarrow. They wheeled the barrow around the site, stopping to look in the greenhouse and chatting to each other.

When asked what they liked about the session, the child specified both objects (the blanket) and spaces at the site (the sandpit).

This message was recorded by a child when asked what their favourite thing was at the site. They had just finished playing with said cars inside the Cheryl Centre at Trustlinks.
