Session Two – 28.4.21
The children were thoroughly excited for another fun-filled second week at Forest School. The weather was slightly better this week and we even had a lovely bit of sunshine at one point, which made our afternoon even more enjoyable.
Continuing with our Early Islamic Civilisation theme, we had the opportunity to use an array of natural materials to create our own clay pieces of jewellery. All of the children were in for a treat this week as we created our very own chapattis and cooked them on the fire. It was delicious and we all enjoyed eating it around the fire circle.
Another week and another skill for us to master, which was the tension knot. We are working really hard to master this skill so that we can all achieve our ‘Tension Knot Award’. We learned a rhyme in order to help us achieve this skill, ‘Sammy Snake goes on an adventure. Around the tree where he meets a giant who sits on him (tighten the rope)! But Sammy Snake is ok! He goes over the hill and back on himself really tightly. He decides to go back home – back around the tree, over the hill (make a triangle) and up through the rabbit hole. He meets Humpty Dumpty who sticks out his tongue and blows a raspberry at him! (Pull through loop.)’
We finished our session with some hot chocolate, a biscuit and a good old sing-song around the fire circle.
