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.
During term one we have spend time, exploring all areas of the site. We have experimented building different sizes and types of dens and supporting each other with a helping hand when required.

We have been busy exploring the different Autumnal colours of the Maple Tree over this Autumn term. The children have enjoyed observing the Maple seeds spinning down to the ground, playing in amongst the leaves and seeing who can be the best at being camouflaged in the leaves. Ayra stated" that Mrs White hides the best. "
We have made our own stick man puppets and dressed them with Maple leaves. Remy and Martha showed their puppets around the site including them having ago on the rope swing. |
