This week we continued to find nature’s treasures from the woodland floor. Everyone in Year 1 has taken part. We also enjoyed looking at a most unusual pumpkin! Some interesting observations were made after feeling the surface and looking at the pattern ” It looks like sweetcorn” ‘Or popcorn”

Playing Kim’s game in the woodland was difficult this week as it was so windy, our treasures blew away!

Forest School started this week in Year 1! I work on Monday and Tuesday and plan to give all the children in Year 1 the opportunity to spend time exploring, enjoying and learning about nature. I hope by the end of the year, all children will feel connected with nature and be inspired to protect and take care of our world.

The children were shown how to register for their session, by finding their name and hanging it on our pine tree! And of course we talked about the tree being an evergreen tree.

We went to the woodland and started our first session by looking and holding a spiky husk from a horse chestnut tree.

Each child had an empty egg box and we searched our woodland floor for nature’s treasures. We found nuts, berries, leaves, sticks, stones and feathers!

We each put 1 of our treasures on a tray and we played Kim’s game. Which treasure was taken away?
