Orange Class- Mud Kitchen Mixers and Excited Pond Explorers

A lovely session with Orange Class today.

After one of our amazing parents revamped our mud kitchen, the children spent a long time making muddy mixtures…


There were some exciting discoveries from our pond, including a newt…


Some of us learnt to tie simple knots to make our own bows…



And some of us found sticks the same length as ourselves!


We finished our session by mindfully watching the fire, using all of our senses.

Roots, shoots and newts!

A wonderfully calm and peaceful afternoon with Red Class. The children enjoyed identifying trees by looking at the shape of their leaves, digging for roots under the soil and pond dipping. At the end we shared our favourite moments and talked about different feelings we might have had during the session. The children were amazing at talking about how they felt and identifying things that made them feel calm, worried or excited. A special thank you to George’s mum for coming to help us today.

Orange Class- Brilliant Bug Hunters

It was a beautiful, sunny winter’s afternoon in the forest. Orange Class were keen climbers, bird spotters, bug hunters and collectors today. Some of us made some detailed observations of the birds we saw. Bugs today included a snail named “Shelly” and a millipede! We were very responsible and made sure to return all creatures to their natural habitats. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxed today and a wonderful time was had by all. 🐌🐦🌳☀

Campfire s’mores were the order of the day. Smiley faces and sticky fingers all round! Orange Class have come so far in their Forest School sessions, with everyone confidently and independently toasting their marshmallows today. The children chatted happily whilst around the campfire, helped each other and reminded each other of our fire safety rules.
