I have finally released my Early Years Outdoor area planning for Summer 1. It’s on the website with plenty of accompanying resources to use.
I have themes including: The Farm, Earth Day, Castles, Kings & Queens, Magical - Fairies & Wizards and Bees.
Download as a complete bundle or as individual weeks. The planning includes ideas for the different areas you may have such as mud kitchen, water, construction, the ground etc… and has vocabulary, adult prompts, resource lists and links to the EYFS.
I’ll also be adding some one off themes to this section, so if there’s a theme you’d love a set of outdoor planning for, just let me know!

✨So excited to finally share this!✨
Here are a few clips from the interviews with Nicola Coughlan, Billie Gadson and the director Ben Gregor, who are the stars of The Magic Faraway Tree.
They chat about the film, what it was like bringing this magical world to life and their favourite parts. I was honoured to be asked to talk to them.
I have put the long videos on YouTube - the link is in my Bio if you’d like to give them a watch and I’ll also add links to my stories.
Let me know if you watch the film and what you think about it. I loved it all 🌳✨

🌳✨The Magic Faraway Tree is out now in cinemas✨🌳
I was lucky enough to watch the film and then interview Nicola Coughlan who plays Silky, Billie Gadson who plays Fran and Ben Gregor - the director!
The adaptation of Enid Blyton’s classic is a gorgeous, feel good family film. There are so many amazing actors in it and it’s a joy to watch. The plot takes you on a journey of modern family life, the funny use of technology by children and getting outdoors to have some exciting adventures.
This is a sneak peek of the interviews, I’ll share the full videos soon.
Are you going to watch The Magic Faraway Tree?

Make hot cross buns using a batch of playdough and some foraged twigs!
Strengthen those finger muscles and work on core strength by rolling out the dough. Add a few twigs and make some hot cross buns. You can also use a scent such as cinnamon for an extra sensory element!
We love making them in with mud in the mud kitchen too!
This is part of the Easter tuff tray set. Download the resource from my website 🌿
The beautiful logs, rolling pins and wooden tools are from @hope_earlyyears. Link in my bio for these ✨

Make some cute Easter Bunny planters. We filled ours with cress and giant sunflower seeds as they are quick growing, so the children don’t need to wait as long to see something happen.
This is part of the Easter tuff tray ideas set. Find it on the website or comment’Easter tuff trays’ if you want the link.
