I am learning to assess and manage risk, to protect myself and others, and to reduce the potential for harm when possible. (HWB 0-16a )

Another fantastic afternoon in the Mini Forest, starting with our safety circle, before we started to explore the area.

The children spent time assessing their own risk as they climbed into the trees, and manoeuvred through the bushes. They examined the flora and fauna, before discussing the catkins.

The children enjoyed making marks with sticks and their wellies in the sticky mud before returning to the ECC.

The children returned to the ‘Mini Forest’ enjoying a dry afternoon session, again beginning the session with our ‘Safety Circle,’ discussion. Talking about our boundary area,  the risks of the car park area and listening for an adult voice or whistle to return together as a group.

The children explored the areas under the arch of the trees and bushes, listened to the noise the birds made in the large trees “Caw, caw,” found a birds nest high in a tree and enjoyed digging, scrapping and rolling the mud into mud balls.

Ending the session with a head count, a smile of enjoyment and a promise to return next week for more fun.
