For those of you that didn’t know…it was international mud day on Friday!
Early Years had a superb time making mud prints, mud paintings, mud faces and generally just getting very muddy in our forest school.
Early Years enjoyed a teddy bears picnic last Friday at forest school. They all brought in their teddy bears from home and made jam sandwiches and played lots of fun games. They read the instructions they had written earlier in the week.
Year 5 and 6 have thoroughly enjoyed their Forest School experiences this term. We have made frames with our knot-tying techniques, built our own dens (and tested them in wet conditions) and have now started work on a new project…
The children love taking their learning outside, whatever the weather! Look at all these happy, confident and engaged children directing their own learning. The forest helps us learn so much about the world and our local environment!
Forest school today provided a rich learning experience for one boy. A worm was discovered, carefully picked up and cared for, for most of our morning outside.
A slug was found too! Endless open ended play outdoors!! Perfect!!
Children in Early Years love taking their learning into the forest. This week, some children made human scales to see who was heaviest, whilst others focused their attention on creating a scarecrow to keep the birds away from our mud mountains.
Our forest school is really taking shape! The hugely popular hills have doubled in size and have been turfed and we have a brand new storage shed to house our resources. Many thanks to our amazing team of dedicated and passionate parents who have given up so much time to help move the project forward – thankyou all!
Our children are thriving in our forest!
Our forest school is going from strength to strength…. tree by tree! Our dedicated group of staff, parents and children have not only planted a hedge but trees too!
Early years and key stage 1 are already using our amazing new resource. If you would like to be involved please chat to Caroline Burt in early years or leave your name at the office.
