Well being week (03/06.11.20) - Willow and Birch Class

We braved the weather and headed to the top of the field for our forest school sessions on Tuesday and Friday. All the children had a lovely time and managed to stay dry (ish) and warm!

The children all completed three activities as well a having time to explore and play. They made:

wood cookie necklaces using a bow saw, palm drill and hand drill.
clay prints of their favourite leaves and Birch class also made clay faces and they are hidden on the trees.

We finished off our day with a hot chocolate and biscuit around our new fire pit area!

The Year 1 children have been enjoying their forest school sessions on a Thursday afternoon. We have been exploring the outdoor areas despite the winter weather! They have been building dens, planting hazel trees and having fun getting muddy! They have also been using some different tools and learning how to do this safely, they have used a bow saw and a hammer to make weaving tree cookies! The most important bit, having a hot chocolate and biscuit at the end of the afternoon to warm themselves up!

Today (14th February) the children went hunting for 'animals' and then built homes for them. They all really enjoyed themselves and made some amazing homes. They decided they wanted to leave the animals out overnight to see if they would stay dry and warm! Fingers crossed!
