Bug Hotels

Year 1 made their bug hotels at home and some children decided to put them into the Forest School area. Great job everyone!


Moving the wood chip

Year 1 had a fabulous time in Forest School moving the wood chip around the young trees. This helps to keep the roots warm which makes the trees grow more easily. It also stops the grass from growing around the trees. 


Wood cookie creations

Today in forest school we have been playing one of the groups favourite games - 1,2,3 Where are you? Then we made spinners and necklaces from wood cookies. 


Busy Forest School Time

Year1 have been extrememly busy in their forest school session this week.  Making fairy houses, bird feeders, using tools safely and playing the follow the leader game.  Some children were very brave and really enjoyed climbing the trees.  Well done everyone!


Forest School Games

Year 1 played lots of new games in forest school this week.  We used our senses to play the owl and mice game and used our dodging skills to play farmer, farmer and wood, wood, fire.


Making bows, arrows and bird feeders.

Year 3 enjoyed making bows and arrows using tools safely to cut branches from the willow and practice their knot tying skills.  They also made bird feeders and used their senses to play the owl and mice game.  The children enjoyed investigating the ice and warmed themselves up with some delicious hot chocolate.


Fabulous bird feeders

The children had a great time in forest school. We talked about different types of birds, what they eat and what they sound like. Then we made two different types of bird feeders, played the sparrow hawk game and enjoyed making soup in the mud kitchen. Well done everyone!
