Teaming up with their buddy, we held a conker rolling competition to see who could get their conker all the way across the playground. They also enjoyed preparing and tasting some cinnamon apples \u2014 Maple children definitely enjoyed the making more than the tasting!<\/p>\n
As the classes have made their way along the Forest Way to Forest School, they have been looking up into the trees at all the changing autumn colours. The children in Maple class listed all the different colours they could see on their first ever journey to the woods, these are a few of the colour combinations they said?: \u201cyellow and green\u201d, \u201cbrown with some red\u201d.<\/p>\n
Once in the woods the children have been practising their fire lighting skills, using a flint and steel to create a spark to light a piece of cotton wool. With the fire roaring away, the classes were able to enjoy trying cinnamon apples that they prepared and cooked over a fire. These were a success ,with many of the children wanting seconds!<\/p>\n
Using conkers and some clay, the children got creative and made themselves a snail. They used clay to make the body of the snail and the conker was used as the shell. They then found two sticks that they used to push into the clay body as eyes. One class make so many snails that they lined them up along a long log.<\/p>\n
