The year 5/6 children were amazing searching for and identifying all different types of flora and fauna in our forest school area today.

We have been using the traditional Japanese technique to transfer natural objects on to paper using a hammer.

The Year 4 children found lots of interesting bugs in our area today.

It was a very hot day today. Children made sure they stayed safe by wearing hats and exploring in the shaded areas.

We put up a hammock today and had a lovely time relaxing in the shade.

Looking for bugs and wildlife.

The children showed resilience in keeping their tent pegs in the ground today. Substituting pots and pans for hammers to secure them into the ground. We also found a snail and made him a nice home.

Using a flint and steel to make a fairy fire and making nature bracelets.

We made our own bread and enjoyed it with garlic butter or butter and jam.

Building dens, making gods eyes and relaxing in the sunshine.

We went to Forest school to draw some of our gorgeous blossom trees.

During our visit to forest school the children had the oppertunity to craft a gods eye using some natural materials. These are very colourful and eye catching, do you agree?

Year 5/6

We used mud and paint mixed together to create traditional African Mud Paintings.

During our visit to forest school the children helped to take care of the wildlife making bird feeders from twigs, cheerios and string.

We made good use of the mud at forest school today.

Year 5/6 used the axe and mallet safely to chop some fire wood.
