Forest School – Friday Update
On Friday, at Forest School, the children enjoyed a busy and hands-on outdoor learning session. We began with the older pupils reading their own stories to the younger pupils- a nice way to finish off World Book week activities. After that, pupils helped with the planting of a variety of vegetables in our garden area, including potatoes, green beans, and carrots. They are excited to watch them grow over the coming weeks.
The children also worked on their own to create maps showing the journey from their homes to our school. Using natural and outdoor materials such as sticks, stones, leaves, and moss, they built creative pathways and landmarks to represent their routes. This activity encouraged, imagination, and early mapping skills while making the most of our outdoor environment.
It was a wonderful afternoon of exploring, planting, and learning in nature. We look forward to checking on our vegetables and continuing our outdoor adventures!
