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 the Winter term we have been making bird feeders using seeds, fat, apple and raisins to help attract more birds to the site and help feed the birds over the difficult months. This helps us out during our RSPB bird watch, we observed Pied Wagtail's, Jackdaws, Crows, Blue tits, Starlings and heard Robins singing to each other.
