Hedgehogs did really well, making sure that they had all the right waterproof gear on for a potentially soggy Forest School. We made our way out to the playground to do some conker rolling, taking it in turns to see how far we could roll our conker. We had a game of ‘keep of the keys’. Taking it in turns to sneak in, steal the keys and run as fast as possible back to our seat without being caught. With a wet floor this was a very slippy game.
Some children helped to put up the slack line, working really well as a team and listening very well to instructions. There was then some great balancing, not so easy in wet wellies.
Others in the class remembered their den building skills from the previous session and worked hard to create another den. They used parts of the trim trail to peg to, however when the wind blew it managed to pop all the pegs off. Hedgehogs were straight on it with repairs to their den.
There were some beautiful rubbing pictures created using leaves. The leaves were placed under a piece of paper and a crayon was then rubbed over the top leaving an outline of the leaf.
We finished the session with a woodland whisper that got a little muddled along the way.
Then listened to what they had enjoyed about their morning at Forest School.
