    It's been great being back in the woods for Forest School!

    This half-term we will be practising our fire lighting skills after ending the term with a fire and marshmallows! All age groups will have a chance to do this - even Oaks class! Also, the usual activities of den building, digging, arts and crafts will be available. This first week back the children have enjoyed being outside and we have witnessed them improving their skills of making a den, using the rope to make a new style pulley and whittling. I look forward to seeing what they all get up to over the next few weeks. We have Spring on our door step with our bulbs planted making an appearance, a special week to celebrate trees and ending with Easter where we will be doing a hunt!

    Welcome back for more exciting Forest School news.

    The last couple of weeks, there has been some fun activities as well as the usual forest school fun available where we have focused on Children's Mental Health week. Your lovely children have been hugging trees, some of chestnuts and Ash even measured our big Ash tree to calculate the age which was over 200 years old, took a stone on a journey around the field on the back of their hands where a lot of concentration and focus was needed plus attempting to untangle themselves from the human knot where lots of communication was required as they had to keep their hands held together.

    The very last week was all about Fire and marshmallows where small groups came out to enjoy the warmth of the fire, watch the flames and to toast a marshmallow, to their preferred state to then consume. 

    I hope all the children have a lovely half term and I look forward to seeing them back in our woods for more forest school fun!
