Arriving at the Wellie Tree, the class sat down as a group ready to find out what we would be trying to make on our way to Forest School. Pouring some cream into a tub, the children were tasked with shaking it as hard as they could with the hope of turning it into butter. They all tried hard and with a little adult help, we soon had butter. They class then had the opportunity to try some of the butter on a cracker; this went down very well, with many of the class wanting seconds.<\/p>\n

Along the way the children spotted dandelion clocks, so they picked them and, blowing the clocks, they watching the seeds float away.<\/p>\n

They also saw different wild flowers and a little green caterpillar.<\/p>\n

Once at Forest School some children chose to have a go at whittling a piece of hazel. They did this by putting a glove on the hand that would be holding the piece of hazel, and using a peeler they stripped off all the bark. The class did really well at this, making sure they removed every bit of bark. They were then able to add a point to one end making a pencil. Using wool, they added a soft grip as decoration to their pencil.<\/p>\n

Heading off to the stream to investigate the water level the children discovered that the water was almost gone. All that was in the stream was a load of gooey, sticky mud!<\/p>\n
