This week we went out into the woodland looking for shades and colors to make into paint. With the paint and our creative stick paint brushes we painted differ patterns and shapes to then create a picture…

Next week we we are looking forward to mKIng frames for the paintings to go in…

We thought about what we enjoyed during our forest school adventures!

What did you enjoy the most?

Woody lost his worms so we went exploring for them to help him! Some of his worms were harder to find than others! We learnt that this depended on the colour of his worm..

Greens and darker colours were difficult as they blended in with our woodland environment! The brighter colours of pinks and purples stood out more for us!

Look at how much fun we had finding the worms hidden in the woodland…

We went digging for our own worms… Look how we got on!

We then decided to make the worms a better habitat… we learnt that their habitat needed shelter, food and water…

We went on a hunt for these important things!

We are so happy to see spring and its warmer weather!

We are independent and help out Miss Martin and Miss Bell every week with carrying kit and helpful essentials!

We even wash up our own tools and equipment for the woodland!

Happy New Year!

As we welcome in 2016, we welcome our new forest explorers from year 1!

Here they are after reading Stick Man telling us all that ‘I’m not a stick…!

I’m not a stick.. Im a bow and arrow!

I’m not a stick… I’m a flute!

I’m not a stick… I’m Grandad’s walking stick!

I’m not a stick… I’m a flag!

I’m not a stick… I’m a boomerang!

I’m not a stick… I’m a fork!

I’m not a stick… I’m a bat!

I’m not a stick… I’m a pencil!

We also met our woodland elf ‘Woody’ who lives out in the woodland…

What would you like to ask Woody? If you have a question for Woody post it on the blog and I am sure he will get back to you!

What a fun first day out! It was pretty chilly today so please remember more warm clothes for next week and wellies or thick sturdy boots!

I wonder what Woody will have in store for us next week!

See you soon!

Blindfolded in the forest area… We had to communicate confidently with our partners as we took them on a journey around the forest … We built trust between us all to become greater teams!

Kai and Brooke playing the trust game…

Tia talking clearly to help lead Faizan around the woodland…

Ria enjoyed leading Yara on a secret woodland journey…

Aisha learned to slow down and talk calmly to Melaka to help build that trust … Excellent team skills!

The weather is on the turn…

With the change of weather this week, we were caught in the rain at forest school… Please remember to bring your outdoor/ waterproof trousers and Wellington boots!

Keep yourselves warm and dry in these autumn forest sessions!

Miss Martin and Ria were certainly wrapped up warm!

Well done to Tia for bringing her practical willies this week! No wet feet for you!

Drip drip drip, little autumn showers!
