Oaks were keen to start their session today with a game of Eagle Eye. One child is the \u2018eagle\u2019 in the nest ready and waiting to catch out any of the other children who don\u2019t make it back to their hiding spot quickly enough.<\/p>\n
A group of children helped to get the fire ready so we could cook a small feast. As there was a new pupil in the class who hadn\u2019t been to Forest School before, the children were asked to talk through the process of laying and lighting the fire. They did really well. Using their striking skills it wasn\u2019t long before the fire was going. The children then took it in turns to make pizza inside a flat bread, wrapping it in foil before placing it on the fire. It didn\u2019t take long for the cheese to turn all gooey ready to be enjoyed. As it was their last session, the children also roasted a marshmallow which they placed between two chocolate biscuits ready to be eaten.<\/p>\n
The class decided to move an existing den. Working together they transported all the materials to a new corner location. They added boundary lines using long branches that stretched out in two different directions from the main den. Great team work!<\/p>\n
Some children chose to create some beautiful leaf printed pictures. First they choose a leaf, then using a sponge they covered the back of the leaf in different coloured paints. The leaf was then placed onto a piece of paper and rubbed all over. When it was peeled away, the shape of the leaf, showing all the veins and markings, was left on the paper.<\/p>\n
Today session was finished with another game of Eagle Eye.<\/p>\n
The Impact of Forest School for the children is the knowledge the children have gained from the Forest School experience, this can be seen through the skills gained, tools used, art and craft activities, observations and knowledge of the fruit, plants and trees in relation to the seasons.<\/p>\n
