Great start to Forest Schools for Year 3

Blog Week 1:
What an amazing group of enthusiastic learners we had in the woods today. The children engaged well with adults and peers and made the most of exploring their environment. They got stuck in straight away climbing, building and creating. There was no need for resources to support the children today. They instantly thrived and groups formed following a range of interests. I'm looking forward to the adventures of the next few weeks!

 Blog Week 2:
Silence! Not often a part of life with children but today we stood silently in the woods and listened!
"I heard a fox walking on the sticks," said Ricky.
"The birds were singing," said Lexie.

Taking a pause to listen inspired the children to go bird watching with sound books to identify the birds they heard. Some made bird feeders while others used a hand drill to make creations with conkers.
