  • Apple Class 22.4.21

    Published 22/04/21, by Rhiannon Searle

    Apple Class had a great session today. The weather was sunny and they enjoyed completing a range of activities. Some of the children made musical instruments/bands and were thinking about 'timbre' and 'texture'. Others enjoyed climbing on the 'scramble net' and swinging on the rope swing. All of the children were getting on independently and needed little help from the adults. It was lovely to see the children working co-operatively with their peers and choosing to work with different friends from their class.

    Oak Class enjoyed a lovely, sunny session in Forest School today. The children completed a range of activities including; tree climbing, making musical instruments and knot tying.  The children enjoyed using beaters to drum logs and scrape trees to make different sounds. We also talked about the terms 'timbre' and 'texture'. I was really impressed with the knot tying, some of children practised tying 'timber hitch' knots on the trees and they worked well with a partner to do this.
