Beech Forest School

Beech Class started the Forest School session today by taking a look at a selection of bones belonging to British wildlife. The bones were then passed round giving the children a chance to take a closer look at each one, how they felt and what the teeth looked like.

A fire was lit to boil water ready for something to keep us warm on this soggy January morning. A few of the children chose to get the cups prepared for a warm hot chocolate, and once the water was ready it was added to the cups and stirred well.

Using empty toilet rolls the children made some bird feeders. They did this by covering the roll in lard and then rolling it in the bird seed, and string was then added so it could be hung up.

There were also two hammocks set up in the trees, one as a hammock and the other as a swing. The children took it in turns to swing each other and laid on their tummies, pretending they were flying.
