Fresh air and Freedom at Forest School
This term, children in Apple Class have braved the elements to take part in Forest School sessions run by Sally-Ann Woodrow and supported by Gemma Haynes, Mrs Cresswell, Mrs King and Mr Barrett. Thank you also to Olivia’s mum for volunteering her time to support us. During these sessions, the children took part in a range of activities in a local woodland, which we are kindly allowed to use by the Lane Fox family. The children have enjoyed exploring the environment and learning new skills such as building dens, making decorations out of natural materials, tying knots, constructing a rope swing and using tools, including bow saws, hand drills and loppers. One of the highlights was the last session where the children were able to see fire craft. Sally-Ann showed the children how to start a fire, in spite of the damp conditions. Everyone then had the chance to toast marshmallows and create smores using a wide range of biscuits - bourbons were a favourite! Miss Barrett
