The last session of Forest School of the year brings a time of reflection and the whole of Willow Class thought about their Forest School experience and its IMPACT on them this year.<\/p>\n
We broke the reflections down into different areas.<\/p>\n
What Impact has Forest School had on:<\/p>\n
YOU – Has forest school affected how you feel about yourself and your well-being? If so, how?<\/p>\n

\nWhat did you like about the woodland space and Forest School environments?
\n\u201cI love the stream\u2026playing in it, climbing over it and damming it with wood and clay\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nOn the croft, the children climbed on the low hung branches of the Wellingtonia- \u2018Welly\u2019 tree and saw the lines being painted for the track for tomorrow\u2019s sports day.<\/p>\n
Willow Class played a game of \u2018Owl eyes\u2019, where they had to hide in the reeds in the meadow without being seen. Whilst hiding, the children noticed that there were many crickets in the meadow. They had a go at catching some and were surprised to see how many of them were jumping all over their bags when they put them down to play their games.<\/p>\n
With double sided tape on card, the children collected samples of wildflowers and plants, they tried to find the full spectrum of the colours of the rainbow. They talked about the fact they found lots of yellows, greens and whites, but not as many blue and purple coloured plants as they had seen in the springtime.<\/p>\n
We took a jar of cream to try to create butter with today. The children talked about the different states of matter- liquid turning to solid and then took it in turns to shake the jar furiously throughout the afternoon and in the end it changed to make butter, which they tasted with crackers. Delicious!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
