Forest & Meadow School
Forest School w/b 19th January
This week marked the start of our Forest School sessions, and kick started with Year 3 and Year 2. The children loved accessing the area and started off their sessions with identifying boundaries and potential hazards in the area. By identifying the hazards, it helped them to move more safely around the area and be mindful when selecting their natural resources.
Year 3 were set the challenge of using natural materials to create mountains, hills, valleys and settlements. It was great to see the learners working together as a group and communicating about what they were doing next. You can see from the photos that they showed a lot of resilience in trying to make their mountain and hill structures stand.
Year 2 were set the challenge of creating the structure of a plant using natural materials. This linked with the learning they have been doing in Science and Art. Lots of the children told me they were being artists like Andy Goldsworthy by making Land Art. Again, the children worked in groups, and each had the responsibility of a different section of the plant to create.
Next week it is Year 1 and Year 5’s turn
