Forest School
An area of the school field was set aside in April 2014 to enable it to be developed into a Forest School site. Willow was planted to act as the boundary of the site. Different areas of the site were added which included a muddy patch for digging and looking for worms and other mini beasts, a camp fire circle for small fires to cook marshmallows over, balancing beams to practice walking along, climbing over and under, also a rope swing which is available on each Forest School session. Two newly created mini beast hotels were added to natural structures to attract more mini beasts and insects to the site.
As part of our class topic the children spent some time exploring the top end of the site looking for mini-beasts. They found lots of slugs, worms, rain beetles, ladybirds, centipedes and millipedes. "The woodlouse tickles as it ran over my hand." Explained Ruby " It is important that we look after the mini-beasts as forest school is there home. " Said Aiyla

At the top area of the site is a small hill which the children and adults had lots of rolling down. Jagoda explained " I really enjoyed rolling down the hill, it was so much fun. " We really enjoyed rolling together down the hill " Kaiden and Auren. |
