Exploring rope!

Today we had a special present from Hannah's daddy - a big, long, purple rope! We were all very excited and had lots of suggestions about how we could use it, including to climb trees and make zip wires!

Reece said "I think the rope is longer than the playground." We talked about whether we thought it was longer or shorter than the playground and how we could find out.

Outside, we unravelled the rope and stretched it out. We found we could go all the way from one end of the playground to the other, and there was almost enough rope to come all the way back again!

We spent some time playing with the rope, carefully jumping over it or pretending to be on a zip wire or in a cable car as we moved along it. Then we worked as a team to hold the rope in a big circle. It was so big Miss Ayres couldn't fit us all in the photo at the same time!

We had lots of fun exploring the rope today, and next week will find lots more things we can do with it - perhaps using it for building and den making outside? Watch this space..!
