Amari “Look that tree is bare, it’s leaves have fallen off.”

The children in Year One selected four different trees around the School to observe and track the changes across the four seasons this year. This is a wonderful opportunity for outdoor learning and allows the children to experience the changes of the seasons for themselves. We discussed the things the children know about Winter and spent time looking at the trees and describing what the children could see. 

 

Apricot Class Forest School

It was the turn of Apricot class at Forest School this morning. Thankfully the wind had died down but not gone completely so we made flags to play with in the wind. Puddles were enjoyed along with the hammock and hanging caves. Worms were found and investigated. A fun packed morning with Year 1.
