Rachel, how simple and how much fun to re-created huddling on a cold day.
Lots of opportunity for children to express themselves and work out how they can incorporate the views of everyone – and have to consider their own spatial position relative to the group.
Ideally you could photograph this from an upper window of the school and have a record that they could refer to. I’m thinking they could have cards with their names on it and could hold them up so they can see if they were middle (and feeling warmer) or outer edge and feeling cooler.
I wonder if there is a minimum size huddle to feel warm ? and there is a “take the next step”….
