Week 5 Elm class Clay

 This morning, our Year Four adventurers in Elm Class had a fantastic time at Forest School! We kicked off the session with a leaf identification challenge and, of course, lots of jumping in muddy puddles! 🌧️🍂

Next, we gathered around the fire circle for a game where we had to listen carefully for the dragon and the night 🐉. Then, we got creative with clay, making all sorts of amazing creatures! And as always, there were plenty of energetic games of manhunt 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️.

A big shoutout to the two resilient girls who helped light the fire 🔥. They did an incredible job, and we all enjoyed some delicious hot apple squash made with the Kelly kettle and even cooked some popcorn over the fire 

To wrap up the morning, we made a circle of trust using a large rope, reminding ourselves of the importance of teamwork and friendship. What a brilliant session!

Great job, Elm Class! 👏💚

Week 4 Elm class acorns

Image
 Today, Elm Class had an exciting time at Forest School! We kicked things off by hunting for acorns and learning a fun science fact—if they sink in water, they’re good to plant; if they float, not so much! The kids were eager to test their acorns and see which ones would grow into mighty oaks. We also got crafty by making colorful Paracord bracelets, and, of course, there was lots of running around. Star Wars games brought extra energy to the day, with the children channeling their inner Jedi! As a perfect end to our outdoor adventure, we built a fantastic fire. Everyone gathered around to roast halloumi with rosemary and toasted brioche—a delicious treat that capped off a day of learning and fun in nature. Forest School days are the best! 🌲 ❤️

Week 3 Pear class Group 1 windy

What an exciting windy afternoon we had watching the rain whist sheltering under the canopy.  We used palm drills to put holes in conkers, jumped in puddles and hunted for firewood. Towards the end of the session it was so windy the children were amazing at helping take down the canopy. We looked at how the boat clutches worked and were able to let the rope go and unhook  the canopy eyelet whilst holding on in the wind! We finished the session by learning a new gross motor game - Giants, Wizards and Dwarfs!
