Fairies, caterpillars and robins! 🐛

Date: 4th Oct 2017 @ 9:22pm

The children are becoming more confident at forest school and thinking of their own ideas for activities. They all mastered the fire circle game understanding why we have to walk outside the fire circle to stay safe. After a few games the children discovered a note from our forest fairy asking the children to make their own nature portraits using conkers and leaves we had foraged. Some children adapted this using rocks and slate as a drawing board. Some of the children enjoyed den building but we need to work on our teamwork in 5F! This will be something we focus in future sessions. There was lots of messy play in the mud kitchen and we practiced our tool work cutting the apples donated by Miss Whittle.

We were blessed with lovely autumnal weather and finished our session off with smores over our fire. At the end of the session we discovered a beautiful furry caterpillar which seemed a little late in the year! One of the children captured the caterpillar on camera!
