Forest School – Reception

    Week 2 at Forest School for Reception Class

    Kitted out in our waterproof gear, we all set off to Forest School. To get us warmed up we played a lively game called ‘Hey Mister Crocodile’, where children were allowed to cross the river if they were wearing a certain colour or they had to swim across the river, trying not to get caught by Mister Crocodile! After the game we all shook hands and congratulated each other on a good effort.

    Reception children begin their Forest School journey!

    After our cancelled session last week due to a torrential rain storm, the Reception children headed off to Forest School with a skip in their step and full of excitement!

    Farewell to Forest School for the Reception Class

    When we arrived at Forest School today Explorer Ted was waiting for us around the fire circle. Inside his bag he had a pinecone and a plastic skittle! We talked about where the pinecone came from and compared it to the plastic man made skittle.

    Week 5 at Forest School

    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!

    Week 4 at Forest School

    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.
