All of Rainbows had a go at fire lighting today. They listened carefully to the instructions, and followed my instructions. Some of the children were able to make some sparks with the fire steel, and with some help they could light the cotton wool. Well done Rainbows!

Rainbows enjoyed completing a range of activities in Forest School today.   All of the children chose the activities they wanted to complete.  Some tried fire lighting and showed great persistence and determination in lighting the cotton wool.  They all managed to make some sparks and were proud of their efforts.  Lots of the children enjoyed exploring the woods to find bugs, and they were trying hard to identify them.  Rainbows also enjoyed using the equipment. It was lovely to see them all so busy and engaged (even in the hot weather!)

Oak class enjoyed using the tools today to make 'wood cookies'.  They are a lot more independent now and have built up their resilience. Some of the children made some clay stars and others made stick people. The class also enjoyed using the Forest School equipment. 

Sycamore enjoyed dissecting owl pellets today. They used the bone and animal identification sheets to try and find out which animals had been eaten by the owl. Some of the children made some fantastic dens and demonstrated great teamwork. Others made beautiful animal models out of clay. 

Oak class were very creative today. Some of the children created treasure maps and buried the gold coins that they made last week for their friends to find. Some of the children made bird feeders and bird homes, and others created objects to do with the Queen. It was a lovely session and all of the children were very busy. 

Apple Class enjoyed completing a range of Easter activities this morning. They made Easter gardens, Easter eggs, bunnies and crosses. Some of the children made dens and one group made their own 'restaurant'.
