Bird spotting, toast and shelters
Oak Class enjoyed the windy Forest School session today. It was lovely to see how creative they can be. Some of the children made musical instruments using natural materials they could find around the site and then they formed a band and performed for Mrs Owen. Others chose to use the 'scramble net' and 'rope swing' and a few children wanted to give whittling a go. All of the children were engaged with a Forest School activity and received 'monster points' for their great work outside.
Fire, bugs and fairy doors!
Toast, knots and obstacle courses!
Today Oak Class had an exciting Forest School session. They enjoyed using the 'Scramble net' and rope swing. Some children whittled green wood and bashed the end with a log to make a paintbrush, and then they made natural paint out of charcoal that they found. Others enjoyed tree climbing and building bug dens.Have a look at the pictures in the gallery to see what they got up to.
Rainbows had an exciting morning today. They received a letter from the 'Fairy Godmother' who needed help. Her house had been destroyed, and she needed Rainbows to build her a new home with some new furniture. The children enjoyed collecting different natural materials, and they used these to make different parts for the house. I saw some lovely team work and co-operation. Some of the children explored the rope swing after, whilst others went on a bug hunt.
Willow Class had a lovely time outside today. They enjoyed cooking marshmallows on the fire. Some of the children did a great job of setting up the main campfire and lighting it. Other children enjoyed using the 'scramble net' and rope swing. Another activity that the children chose was to build settlements as part of the geography topic they will be covering in class. One child made a start on building a clay hamlet for bugs.
Popcorn!
