The Guardians of the Forest are beginning to take shape as we added the finishing touches to them by adding colourful paint.

The weather had made the forest look a little different which left us lots to explore the most exciting was a huge big puddle which we worked out was very deep as the water went over the top of our wellies and soaked our toes.

We spent some time helping our high school buddies risk assess the forest by talking about the possible dangers we could see around us and what we could do to stay safe in the forest.

Snack around the fire today was yummy scrummy hotdogs  cooked on an open fire with most children having two and three to warm up their tummies.

Today we spent some time using glue, feathers, wool and string to finish off decorating our guardian of the forest masks which will be placed high up in the trees around the learning circle. We had some unexpected visitors from the local primary school who popped along to say hello as they are planning to join us for the last few weeks of the project.

We had fantastic fun with our CalderHead high school buddies as we “wool bombed” the trees together making some lovely colourful patterns amongst the trees.

On the way back to nursery we noticed some changes in the forest floor and spent some time investigating and as you can see from the photos there were lots of laughter and smiles which made the long walk home more fun.
