F2 Forest School 🌼 🍃🌿🍃🌼

The children had a wonderful time today, helping to develop our forest area.

First we used two pallets to make a bed…a stage…a sofa…maybe even a magic carpet…

…then we use logs, stumps and planks to make an assault course.

We tested and checked to make sure it was steady and safe… then we carefully balanced around, slow and steady…

…after that, we explored our campfire area and using our fabulous imagination we toasted marshmallows and sang songs.

We were careful not to go too close, staying on the edge of our safety circle. It was good to investigate the patterns on the bricks we used to surround our fire pit…

…and finally, we looked for bugs, planted a tree and worked together at tidy away time.

We love our forest area!

 

Lifecycles…

After the chicks went back to ‘Grandad Chicken’ on the farm, I didn’t think that we could beat the experience for the children.  However, our tadpoles are just as popular and the children have become experts on the lifecycle of frogs!  Great work everyone.

FS explore number 18

The children explored the number 18 independently during continuous provision, showing a good understanding.  Well done to those who took up the challenge!
