Forest School Session 1

Forest School Session 1:
We managed to get out into the woods last week and had a lovely time exploring the setting. We began by talking about who else uses the site and we talked about the need to look after it for the animals and insects that live in the trees and the woodland. We found a massive worm, just where we were standing and used it as a tool to develop discussions about respecting the environment.

The children loved playing the game ‘123 Where are you?’ as a way to establish the boundaries of the site as well as developing an awareness of listening and responding.

Then we all made a Forest School bracelet of honour. The children needed to work with a partner, helping them to make their bracelet and vice versa. It was great to see a different side to the pupils, with some normally quieter members of the class, giving instructions and taking the lead within the activity.
