Willow Class have loved forest school this afternoon, first they had to make small repairs to their existing dens, next they went on a bug hunt and found all sorts of mini-beasts including slugs, wood lice, worms and spiders. They even found an amethyst deceiver mushroom, thankfully it is not poisonous. They ended their afternoon with a campfire, warm hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
Willow Class explored their school grounds and collected evidence for their nature diaries. They recorded what they could hear, smell, touch and see.
Forest School
On our first week back we were very keen to get back into the forest for Forest School. We love exploring the forest area and we found two tiny toads. It was amazing to see them jump so high! We noticed the changes to the forest over the summer and some children decided to be fungi spotters. We found mushrooms on the forest floor and some fungi growing on the trees. We even found some dead mans fingers! (This is a type of black fungi which looks like fingers) At the end of the session we made a camp fire and toasted marsh mallows and chocolate bread. What a fun time we had!
Our School Garden
With the amazing support from Laura English, both Bluebell and Willow Class have tidied and cleared the garden and the beds, they have replanted the beds with bulbs and beans.
