Nursery started their forest school session today with a game of keeper of the keys. Some of the children were so keen that they did two laps of the circle without being caught before sitting back in their seat.
Sitting as a class the children watched some cream being poured into a pot, this pot was then passed from child to child so that they could have a go at shaking it with the hope of turning it to butter. Once the cream had separated, the class had the chance to try some of the butter on crackers.
Down on the school field some of the children chose to help put up the hammock. Unfortunately there were not two trees far enough apart to have it up as a hammock so instead it was put us as a swing. The children all enjoyed climbing into the hammock swing and laying down flat, they were then swung back and forth. As they were swinging they were asked that they could see from their horizontal position, these are some of the things that they said:
“I can see a tree”
“I can see the sky”
“I can’t see the birds but I can hear them”
