Forest School Friday

This week in Year 4's Forest School session, the children had a brilliant time exploring nature and were fascinated to find some newts under the logs. We talked about how lucky we are to have these animals in our Forest School site and the importance of keeping them safe and putting them back where we found them. Building dens was another activity which generated lots of excitement. The den builders all worked together brilliantly, sharing ideas and solving problems. We also had some conkers which we drilled and made into necklaces or threaded onto string for a game of 'conkers' with a friend. Some of the children used a flint and steel to make sparks and small fires. This required resilience and perseverance for all...as it's not as easy as it might look! We're all looking forward to more adventures next time.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
