A Bright Winter Morning in the Forest

We had a cold and bright day in the forest today. Some children made their own fire circle and bridges. Others did some  weaving or tried using the saw and a palm drill.

Rain again!

It rained again today at Forest School but we dressed up in our warm, dry clothes and went outside anyway. First, we thought about where creatures might go on a rainy day and then we pretended to be those creatures hiding from the rain. Our puppet Coco didn't want to come out of Mrs Sullivan's coat because he didn't have a waterproof coat to wear. We decided to make him a waterproof shelter and a shelter for us to keep safe and dry too. When we had made our shelter, we had a party inside drinking hot chocolate and eating our fruit.

A Rainy Day in Forest School

It was a really rainy day in the forest today but the children dressed themselves up in really warm clothes and we went outside anyway.  We caught rain drops on our noses and tongues. We decided to try and build some shelters to protect us from the rain. Everyone helped to move long sticks by dragging them or carrying them with a friend. Some children worked together sharing tarps, sticks, pegs and string to build their shelters. One shelter had a door and carpet! Other children explored in the ditch. Somebody said that there might be water in the ditch because it was raining. We discovered that it was full of mud. Some the children became mud monsters!
