This was the final week of Forest School for Beech class’s first block.
The children listened to the story ‘The Amazing Mud Cake’. The boy in the story, Olli, had made a special mud cake for his family, but he felt disappointed when they didn’t enjoy it. The next day, however, Olli was delighted to discover that while his family hadn’t liked the mud cake, the mini beasts of the forest had eaten it all up!
Inspired by the story, the children set to work making their very own mud pies for the mini beasts. They mixed mud and water, and decorated their creations with sticks, stones, leaves and other natural treasures they could find.
The children also collaborated on some large-scale art by brushing powder paint onto wet sheets. This created beautiful, colourful patterns.
Many children also took part in a winter scavenger hunt, marking off the items they could find on their sheets.
To end the session, we played the game called Foxes and Rabbits, which the children really enjoyed.
I’ll be back with the children after the Easter break.
