As Cherry class made their way to Forest School ,they noticed as we walked across the fields how much the grass has grown. They talked about how they would disappear if they were to go and lay down in the long grass.
Walking along the Forest Way, there is a bridge that we go over. The children set off to explore under the bridge: the class was convinced that there was a troll living under the bridge!
Once in the woods ,some children used leaves to create some leaf printed pictures. They did this by sponging paint onto the back of their chosen leaf and then pushing in down onto some paper. When it was peeled off it left behind a print of the leaf.
Some chose to be more creative by adding more than one colour to their leaf. They also used different leaves leaving different patterns.
Many of the class set off to explore the stream, hoping to find some running water. However, with all this warm weather, there was none. This did not bother them as the ground was nice and soft – perfect for digging in.
The children also enjoyed taking it in turns to push their friends in the hammock, and exploring some dens made from sticks that they found in the woods.
Using a tea light, the class were able to take it in turns to roast a marshmallow that was then placed between two chocolate biscuits for them to enjoy.
