Forest School Term 1.1 2024/25

It has been lovely to be back in Forest school this half term. The returning children have helped to show our new friends all around the forest.

We have reintroduced our Forest school rules of 'Good looking' 'Good listening' 'Kind hands' 'No picking no licking! (mushrooms and berries) and 'Up to the sky down to the ground' (how we hold sitcks) and talked about how the rules keep us and our friends safe.

We have explored the mud kitchen making pumpkin soup, pies and cakes. We have used the leaf and minibeast identication cards to find out about the trees and insects that live in the forest and have used the leaves to make leaf kebabs and leaf crowns.

We had practiced our fire safey rules of not walking in the fire circle, remembering to walk around the outside and staying sat down once it's snack time. We've looked at the sadfety equipment - fire gloves, a bucket of water, fire blankets and a first aid kit - and talked about how we keep safe around the fire. The children have sat so well that we have been able to start having a fire at snack time.

We look forward to lots more forest fun over the coming year.
