As we got to Leasowes Park the pupils enjoyed walking around talking about the sights and natural organisms they could see with one pupil saying to their peer "look I have one of those flowers that you blow on and the petals come off". Another pupil took an interest in the river asking "can I walk through it because on the sign back there it says it is a pool and I want to swim with the ducks". The pupils also enjoyed finding small and big logs and sticks to walk along with. While we were walking the pupils travelled in a variety of ways such as walking up the hill and along the bridge or climbing to the top of the stream bank.
Halfway around Leasowes Park the pupils showed an interest in exploring the stream by walking through the water or jumping to "let me make the biggest splash". One of the pupils found a really long stick and with their peer described that they were "going fishing". Another pupil enjoyed walking to the top of the bank which was next to the stream and sliding down on their bottom talking about their past experiences of sliding down the bank before saying "I did it the last Outdoor Ed lesson but last time I went down on my stomach".
Before we went back to the minibus all of the pupils had a go on the park where they enjoyed seeing how high they could go on the swings, see how fast they could travel on the spinning top and completing the obstacle course of walking and crawling along circle bars.
