It’s been a fun filled couple of weeks for our Wednesday forest schoolers!
As we are so experienced and have demonstrated we can play safely in our forest, we decided we would like to build our own rope swing! Luckily Val was on hand to find a nice strong tree and put our swing up for us. We had so much fun taking turns to see how far we could swing!
“look at me I’m going so high!”
Climbing trees has been our favourite thing to do. After a wee bit of help and some practice, we are now able to assess our own risk and climb to a safe height by ourselves!
“Look at me, I’m swinging like a monkey”
”I’m split man because I can do the splits!”
Our imaginative thinking has shone through in our forest. With sticks as our inspiration we have built campfires to go camping, been doctors helping look after our friends, been old people using a walking stick, and have created our own X marks the spot and an equals sign!
Our Forest truly is a magical place! We wished “we could live here” “can we go camping”. We can’t wait to come back next week!
