All children were excited about having the new responsibility of packing their own bag, with a drink, hot or cold and a small snack which they were able to enjoy in the forest. Their feet were all lovely and cosy with the new wellie socks which they had chosen.

This week we made some lovely prints on canvas using stampers. The children then shared this with their buddies from Calderhead High School helping them to create their own.   The guardian of the forest is beginning to be created.

After all that hard work we very safely built a fire to toast our marshmallows, although the suggestion for next time is to roast ‘sausages’.

I am sure that there is no doubt that there are some tired little cherubs on a Thursday after the Forest School session.

We hope that everyone remembers next week what to bring with them, so here is a little reminder:

  • Drink in their thermos flask, this can be hot or cold, or perhaps even some soup
  • Wellie socks
  • Snack

Learning Together at the Forest School Sessions

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Children at the Forest School sessions worked really hard with clay to create some guardians of the forest on the tree trunks. Using their imagination and creativity they created some interesting faces and animals then very proudly showed theses off to their Calderhead High School buddies each creating a story to go along with the character they had created .

The walk back to nursery gave us some great opportunities to learn more about the forest through splashing in the puddles, looking in the long grass and climbing on Humpty Dumpty’s wall where we were delighted when  found a few wee creatures to investigate.
