Foxes set off on a cold sunny morning for the woods. Working together they pulled the trolley of equipment, not so easy on a muddy slippy path. Along the way the class stopped to climb the Dinosaur tree, starting at the lower end they shuffled their way up and then climbed down at the other end.
Once in the woods the class sat down to take a look at a selection of bones belonging to animals found in the British countryside. Looking at each one individually the class tried to work out what animal each one belonged to, they did rather well with only a few clues.
The bones were passed round giving the children the opportunity to hold the bones and take a closer look to see what they felt like, what the teeth looked like, how heavy they were.
Foxes were very keen to continue their digging from the last time they were in the woods.
Using trowels the children dug out some very clay like soil, they then used this clay to create, bowls, pots with lids and a rather large ball.
While in the woods the class enjoyed a nice warm hot chocolate!
Some of the children chose to make bird feeders to help feed the bird that we share our Forest School with. They did this by pushing as many sunflower seeds in an apple that had been cut into quarters, the apple was then hung up in a nearby tree ready for the birds to enjoy.
Using salt dough the children were able to create their own animal tracks to keep. They did this by pushing a stone that has an animal foot print on into the salt dough leaving an impression. Many of the children chose to do two, the animal and the track.
