The children have had a lot of great learning experiences at Forest School this term. For some children it was their first opportunity to freely explore and learn in a natural outdoor environment, and for others, a chance to build on their knowledge and skills.
They have seen enormous change from the sunny, warm green Forest School in September, through the vibrant colours of autumn, to the bare trees at the start of winter.
The pictures below give just a small snapshot of the fantastic benefits of attending Forest School.
The digging pit is very popular for.......
Digging.....
Cooking.....
Working together......
Finding out about weight and capacity. A bucket of stones is "really heavy"!
Making mud.....
and getting stuck in it!
Look at all the treasures the children have found in the digging pit...
The children have found all sorts of bugs and wildlife, and have shown care and concern for them and their environment.
The children used natural materials to create art at Forest School
The children worked together to build a campfire. They added colourful autumn leaves to represent the flames.
Christmas time was very exciting. Father Christmas had landed his sleigh at Forest School to give the reindeers a rest (& let them eat some grass). To say thank you, Santa left a treasure hunt, the children had to solve the clues until they found some delicious biscuits and candy canes hidden in the secret path. Mmmmm!
