Forest School Week 1

The Reception children were very eager to begin their Forest School journey as they listened carefully to instructions and made their way across the field.

The fun began with a ladybird subitisng game as the children found groups with the same number.

They then went onto explore the forest school surroundings by engaging in a variety of minibeast themed activities including creating minibeasts out of natural materials. There was a lot of bug hunting going on too with worms proving to be the most popular bug of the day!

The children also began exploring knots and worked hard to tie 2 sticks together using a knot of their choice!

The children showed a great understanding of different rules and sat around the fire circle beautifully.

A wonderful first session!
