Year 4 have been working on their teamwork and perseverance skills in their Forest School sessions. They worked well in pairs to carry a ball with sticks while balancing along a plank. We used varying widths of sticks as well as different sizes and numbers of balls. Some pairs decided to add an extra challenge by including an obstacle! 

Reception have been learning about birds in Forest School. We have had fun spotting toy ones hidden in our trees and bushes and are trying to learn some of their names. We made cookie cutter bird cakes from lard and seed to make sure they had something tasty to eat in the colder weather. They made our hands really sticky when we had to mix the ingredients together!

Notice for all year groups:

Please can I stress the importance of warm clothing in these colder months as we are out in all weathers for a long session. Layers are perfect and spare socks essential. The children sometimes wear their own coats under the school waterproof suits so if you have an older coat it would be worth sending that in on a Forest School day if you don't want a school coat to get dirty/wet. Thank you for your help with this.
