Last Wednesday saw the children further
develop their understanding of the forest layers. A range of activities were
engaging the children in a variety of ways. Some looked at the canopy and shrub
layers to identify trees and plants. Others explored the ground and shrub
layers finding mini beasts and fungus. Some demonstrated good teamwork skills
working together to build dens and shelters form natural materials or using
rope and tarps. The children were challenged to think about their biggest
challenge from this session and how they might overcome it next time.
