Pear class week 6 doughnuts

What an amazing six weeks it’s been with our Year 1 Pair Class at Forest School! 🌳 Today we’ve made magical forest wands, dream catchers, and spent lots of time bug hunting and playing with our woodland soft toys. 🐞🍃 To top it all off, we finished with a campfire session where we made our own doughnuts—so delicious! 🍩🔥 The children have been a fantastic group, and it’s been a joy to watch them explore, learn, and have fun in nature. Can’t wait for more forest adventures ahead!

 🌲 A Magical Morning at Forest School! 🌲 This morning, our Beech Tree Class had a great Forest School session under the crisp blue skies following yesterday’s snow. The cold weather didn’t dampen our spirits as we ventured towards the Forest School site with our colour charts, searching for nature’s hidden hues. Along the way, we discovered lots of ice and even some animal tracks!  Once at the site, we gathered in our fire circle and warmed up with some fun fire circle games. One of the highlights was playing "Rabbit and Fox," where rabbits tried their best to escape the hungry foxes—it was so much fun and kept us moving! We also took time to care for our feathered friends, discussing different types of bird feeders. Mrs. Sunderland showed us a huge pinecone found in Northwood Cemetery, which inspired us to turn it into a bird feeder! Our morning was packed with adventure: 🌟 Building incredible dens 🌟 Bug hunting 🌟 Creating cereal bird feeders 🌟 Crafting talking sticks ...

 🍂 Year 1 Beach Class Adventure! 🍂 Today’s Forest School we started our journey noticing the changing colours on the trees and talked about how they’re losing their leaves this time of year. Once at the Forest School site, we gathered around the fire circle to review our safety rules and warm up with a welcome. Our games included matching animals with a partner, then challenging our senses with a blindfolded "dragon" game where we had to listen very carefully. We also got creative building fantastic dens—some children made godseyes and others making feather decorations, each one unique. To end, we huddled for a hot chocolate and biscuit break, sharing laughs and ideas for our next adventure. Before heading back, we held onto a large rope and leaned back to test our trust and teamwork, each of us helping each other stay balanced. 🌲💪

 Pear Tree Class Forest School Fun!  This afternoon, our Year One Pear tree Class braved the chilly weather for an exciting Forest School session! We started our adventure by wandering down to the Forest School site, collecting sticks along the way for a Christmas craft project we’ll be working on next week. While we didn’t sit around the fire circle for long (too excited to start our activities!), we packed so much into our afternoon: 🌟 Birdfeeders – We made birdfeeders using birdseed, lard, and giant pinecones to help our feathered friends this winter. 🌟 Woodcraft Decorations – Using a bow saw, we cut our own wooden cookies and hammered small nails into them to create beautiful Christmas decorations. 🌟 Fire Treats – The highlight of the afternoon was gathering around the fire to watch popcorn popping! Hot chocolate and marshmallows were the perfect treat to warm us up and end the day. The children spontaneously started practising their Christmas songs for our show at the ...
