The morning started with our intrepid breakfast clubbers arriving at 7:40am ready for breakfast, hot chocolate and a relax in the hammock!
To celebrate Bonfire Night, the whole school met in the woods, joining breakfast club who started their day there. After warming up around the Bonfire, the children immersed themselves amongst the trees, in a variety of activities. Enjoying familiar activities such as the Slack Line, the stream, the hammock and swings; the children also engaged in activities that helped us to think about Bonfire and Autumn. These included making Bonfire pictures, using sticks and printing with cow parsley, having a go at making fire using fire steels, and making woodland Art inspired by Autumn. As well as all this, the children were encouraged to make a guy out of hazel. We then gathered back around the fire and listened to the story of Guy Fawkes. We reminded ourselves of the famous rhyme and said it together before we took it in turns to put our Guy Fawkes onto the fire!
It was so special to all be together in the woods; the children were fantastic and showed so much enthusiasm throughout the morning.
The impact for the children is encouraging independence to choose their learning in an outdoor setting, being with their peers across different year groups and working to learn collaboratively.
