This week the children have enjoyed being outside in the sunshine and wearing no coats! We have been on the bikes, climbed on the climbing frame, washed all of the toys to ensure they are clean from the winter months, and been on minibeast hunts! The sun makes us very happy!
The children in Nursery have enjoyed learning all about Spring! We went on a spring hunt with clipboards to look for signs of spring, together we found: buds, blossom, daffodils, green leaves, bees, minibeasts, and sunshine! We went on a minibeast hunt around the garden using tubs, paintbrushes, mag
This week in Reception we have been finding out about the season of spring. We went on a hunt around the school grounds looking for signs of spring. We were lucky enough to spot a large bird’s nest high up in a tree and lots of spring flowers and buds appearing. In the garden the children enjoyed
Nature art in the Forest School. The children made frames from sticks, then collected natural materials to create their pictures. As you can see they produced some beautiful, detailed art, being really careful in how they placed the materials to get the best effect. As a class they then viewed their

In class we had a lively discussion about fire safety preparation, the things that must happen before you can even contemplate lighting a fir
Reception children went on a mini-beast hunt in our Forest School. They started by trying to find dark places the bugs might hide.

Imaginative play for Year 2 this week in Forest School. The children decided that the rope lines, created by year 6, would become a laser quest. Can you get across without touching the lines? Once they’d mastered this, they then challenged each other to get across without touching the ground, no eas
Learning about fire is a important life skill. From choosing where to position a fire, to using fire pit, fire safety and methods of ignition, from fireside activities and crafts, to extinguishing it at the end of the day, the children will be taught these skills during their Forest School sessions.
