This week in forest schools we thought about the meaning of Poppy Day and why we wear poppies at this time of year. So, whenever we see a poppy, we know that we ‘remember’ but we also ‘hope’ for a time when there are no wars. After we made a poppy we lit a candle and took a few minutes to think about people in Ukraine and Israel.

Our finished poppies are on display in the Year 1 outdoor shelter if you want to come and look.

We made poppies from sticks and wool. First we wrapped black wool around the sticks. Then we added some fluffy redwood and weaved it around each stick! It was a challenge for some, but everybody competed the challenge and was proud of their poppy!

Can you spot our robin? He is getting really tame and comes to visit us in forest schools!
