Lovely feedback from our Forest School Leader

The children in Year 1 & 2 had a fantastic week at Forest School.

We talked about animals starting to hibernate and they were all given the opportunity to create a “hibernation den” for some cuddly toys I had brought in. They worked really hard and showed lots of empathy - designing dens that would keep them dry, warm, fed and entertained! 

Some children were very interested in examining the autumn leaves. I had brought in a light that they placed the leaves on to highlight all the veins in them. We compared some to the lines on our hands. In their words we were “scanning the leaves!”

I also brought some conkers in as the children had been getting confused between them and the sweet chestnuts. They enjoyed looking at the differences and putting them under the magnifying glass.
