Forest School - Autumn Term 1 2014/2015

Year 1 – Mrs Carter’s Class

Session 1

Our first session was a tidy up session as Forest School had become untidy over the summer holidays.  We took the litter pickers with us and had a good tidy up.  With so many helpers it didn’t take long to get Forest School looking the way we like it.

Year Reception Forest School; Summer 1 2014

Forest School - Summer Term 1 2013/2014

Reception – Mrs Newman’s Class

Session 1

In our first session we were given the chance to explore Forest School and to see how it had changed since we were last down there.  The grass was much longer and the trees and bushes were much thicker with leaves.  We also noticed that some trees had been planted and that the bug hotels that we had helped to build were finished.

As always there was plenty to do and lots of opportunities for us to use our imagination.

Year Two Forest School; Term Spring 2

Forest School - Spring Term 2 2013/2014

Year 2 – Miss Western’s Class

Session 1

As today was the last day of winter we looked for signs of Spring in Forest School.  Some plants already had buds on them.  We discussed how hibernating creatures such as hedgehogs would be coming out of hibernation.  We talked about the types of foods that hedgehogs eat and had a look in Forest School to see if there was enough food to sustain hedgehogs.  We discovered that it was much harder to find food than it was in the summer.

In our first session we took advantage of the fallen Autumn leaves and did some colour matching.  We used a paint colour chart and had to find leaves that matched the shades of browns and greens which were on the card.

 

Year 2 Forest School; Term Autumn 1

Forest School - Autumn Term 1 2013/2014

Year 2 – Mr Cutler’s Class

Session 1

To get us thinking about our Comenius project to encourage wildlife into our outdoor areas we focused our sessions on a possible visitor to Forest School.  We talked about what hedgehogs eat and found out that beetles, caterpillars, earthworms, slugs and snails are their favourite food.  We then set about seeing how easy it was to find ‘hedgehog food’ in Forest School.

Forest School - Autumn Term 1 2013/2014

Year 1 – Mrs Carter’s Class

Session 1

Our first session was a tidy up session as Forest School had become overgrown over the summer holidays.  We needed to collect up all the branches and logs and put them into piles so that Mr Partridge could strim the grass.  We also removed quite a lot of rubbish that had blown into Forest School.
