Primary 2’s Big Play Adventures in Harbour Wood

The P2 children had a fantastic time exploring creativity and nature through a variety of exciting activities in Harbour Wood. One of the highlights was the “It’s Not a Box” activity, where imaginations ran wild as boxes transformed into robots and cars, sparking joy and innovation.

Autumn inspired their artistic side with leaf printing and painting, using rich seasonal colours to create beautiful natural artwork. Their building skills were put to the test as they worked together using blocks to construct a sturdy house complete with a chimney—a great exercise in teamwork and design.

Curiosity led them to the forest floor, where they used magnifying glasses to search for mini beasts, discovering the tiny wonders of the woodland world. Under careful supervision, they also enjoyed climbing trees with ropes, helping each other and engaging in a lively game of tug of war, building strength and camaraderie.

Nature continued to be their muse as they crafted trees from natural materials, and brought stories to life by making houses for characters from The Gruffalo—a magical blend of storytelling and outdoor play.
