On the way to the woods, Maple Class played a game of \u2018Owl eyes\u2019, where they had to hide in the reeds in the meadow. The children talked about different flowers and trees along the route to the woods. The Impact of Forest School for the children is the knowledge the children have gained from the Forest School experience. The impact can be seen through the skills, tools used, art and craft activities, observations and knowledge of the fruit, plants trees in relation to the seasons and the skills involved in learning how to play Forest School games.<\/p>\n
This term Maple Class\u2019 topic is all about growing, so the children had a go at learning to identify some trees around the School site in the morning. The children had a go at making some bark rubbings with paper and wax crayons. They each created a beautiful tree identification label, which they took with them to the woods.<\/p>\n
They planted some trees in our Children\u2019s Forest site, tended the trees we have already planted and talked about what the trees need to grow. At the end of their session each of the class thought about a wish for the trees that they have planted and tended.<\/p>\n
