Oak Class started their Forest School session today by having a look at a variety of bones belonging to animals from the British countryside. As a group we looked at each one and the children tried to guess what animal they thought it was. With a few clues they managed to work it out. The children then had the chance to hold and take a closer look at the bones, what the teeth looked like and how they felt. There were loads of great questions being asked by the Class as the bones made there way around the circle.
A fire was lit ready to boil some water so that they could enjoy a hot chocolate on this chilly January morning. A few children helped to put the chocolate powder and milk into the cups and gave it a good stir once the hot water was added. These were shared out and enjoyed by all.
There were two hammocks up today at Forest School: one as a hammock and the other as a swing. The children took it in turns to swing each other as high as they could. A few children discovered that you could lie on your tummy, stretching their arms out like they were flying.
Some children chose to make a bird feeder using an empty toilet roll. They did this by covering the roll in lard and then rolling it in bird seed, they then went and found somewhere to hang it ready for the birds to enjoy.
