Week 5 at Forest School
Monday 13th July 2015 Our last Forest School session of the year, and wow what an exciting session we had! We began by reflecting on what we did last week and what we could remember about using the potato peelers – we could remember lots, Mrs. Farrington was very impressed! Mrs. Farrington then lit a […]
Week 4 at Forest School
Monday 6th July 2015 Our Forest School session this week began with a busy game of ‘hungry birds’. Children worked co-operatively with a partner and collected woollen worms that were hidden in the woodland. We discussed how some colours were really easy to spot and others were more difficult; this reinforced our learning about […]
Week 3 at Forest School
Monday 29th June 2015 The weather this week at Forest School was glorious, we were grateful to the shade created by the trees. After looking to see if our nests had survived the past week, two out of three wasn’t bad, we had a quick game of 1, 2, 3 where are you? This […]
Week 2 at Forest School
Monday 22nd June 2015 Undeterred by the cooler and drizzly weather we set off for our weekly Forest School session.

Year 1 – Week 2 at Forest School

The children were brilliant at clearing the area and dragging the branches safely […]

The children were soon in the Forest School spirit […]
Week 6 at Forest School, First Half
Tuesday 10th February 2015 This week at Forest School we were all filled with a mix of emotions. Happy and excited to be back in the woodland and a little sad as it was our last visit; so we made sure it was as action packed as ever! Explorer Ted got us thinking […]
Week 5 at Forest School, First Half
Wednesday 4th February 2015 The sun shone beautifully for us this week at Forest School. We were very surprised to find snow still on the ground when we arrived. It sounded lovely and crunchy under our feet as we stomped all over it. Explorer Ted enjoyed our singing so much last week, he set us […]
Week 4 at Forest School First Half
