Oak Class set off on a soggy morning for a muddy adventure at Forest school. They squelched their way through the very sticky mud, trying their best not to get stuck and lose a wellie! There were a few stuck wellies but working together we managed to get them free and make our way over the bridge and into the woods.
As it was before Christmas the children had the opportunity to make themselves a Christmas wreath to take home. They started by exploring the woodland to see what natural vegetation they could find to decorate their wreath, they then used secateurs to cut and gather enough holly and ivy for the whole class. With a little adult help they made themselves a loop from willow which they then added the added the vegetation too. They then practiced their threading skills by threading beads onto a piece of string that they added to their wreath.
The children found a large den in the woods that had been created other people. They enjoyed making their way into the den through the one entrance as it involved climbing up into the gap between two large trees making it a great secret base.
We finished Forest School today by making our way back through the mud however this time no wellies were lost. The children made their way through the long grass at the end to help clean as much of the mud off their boots as they could.
