We had such a wonderful first session at Forest School! Many thanks to Mrs Ashley for all her hard work planning and setting up our brilliant lessons for us! At Forest School, we learn outside in our woodland areas and the activities help us to develop many life skills. We love being outside, exploring nature and learning about the environment. Forest School is so much fun!
We started by exploring our Forest School areas and learning the rules and routines. The children who had been to Forest School before could recall many of the rules. Well done Emeralds!
Our Forest School learning links to our new unit of learning on plants. We created our very own journals to document the learning we complete at Forest School. Emerald Class worked really hard to create their own journals, it was quite tricky to create but the children were so resilient and had a good try at using the sticks and rubber bands to tie their books together. Great job Emeralds!
We hunted around for signs of Spring. I was so impressed that the children could recall so many facts about Spring from our previous topic about the seasons. We saw many signs of Spring; lots of buds on the trees and new life starting to grow. We recorded our findings in our new journals.
We had a great time exploring in Forest School! You can see from the children’s faces how much they have enjoyed today! Well done brilliant Emeralds!
