The children in F1 have been learning all about castles and making their own for our topic of Cinderella!
It’s wonderful having all of our children back at school and carrying on with our Forest School.
First activity… mud painting!
After donning our wetsuits and wellies, we set about collecting twigs, herbs and mud.
The herb we collected was rosemary, we gave it a good sniff… it smelt delightful.
We then attached it to a twig to make our brush… it was a little tricky for some of us, but we helped each other.
We were so proud of the brushes we had made.
Then we scooped, stirred and mixed our mud with bubbly water (which also smelt fabulous!) and added magic coloured powder to make our amazing mud paint.
We painted with the mud, it was different to our usual paint but we liked the patterns we could make with it.
Our fabulous creations!
In F1, for Chinese New year we had a lovely celebration. We made a dragon, and created our own puppet show. We tried Chinese food, and learnt about the 12 years of the Chinese calendar investigating all of the different years. A lovely day for all.
The children enjoyed playing in the snow with their friends. The children loved exploring how the snow felt and making tracks in the snow. They asked questions like why is icy? Where has the snow gone? Why does it melt? The children played cooperatively building snowmen and pulling the sledge. We talked about seasons and temperatures but most of all we had FUN!
We had fun in the Mud Kitchen today… we went on a worm hunt!
First we worked together to lift the logs to search for worms…it was wet and warm under there and that’s what worms like…the children were very brave and picked them carefully up.
We collected lots of worms, chatting about how we looked after all insects and creatures.
So we then decided that we needed to make a home for them.
We got a container and decided to fill it with leaves, sand, grass and some wet sloppy mud… all the things that worms love and then we popped them in their new home…
they absolutely loved it…
…and so did we!
We posed a problem for the children to solve! What if there were actually 9 Little Pigs in the story? What could they all build their houses of?
