Apricot Forest School

Apricot Class had a lovely return to their Forest School sessions, 

with our theme focusing on Animals in Nature. The children 

were full of enthusiasm and shared ideas about animals they

 might find in the wild in England, including rabbits, squirrels 

and foxes. 🦊🐿️🐇

One activity involved using clay and natural materials,

 such as leaves and sticks, to create woodland creatures. 

The children showed great creativity, making a range of 

animals including a butterfly and a bat. 🍃🦇

I also brought soft toy birds, including a blackbird, a 

chaffinch and a pigeon. The children enjoyed building nests

 for them using natural materials they found on the ground, 

showing care and thought in their creations. 🪹🐦

The children also noticed the green tubes around the site

 and learned that these protect newly planted saplings. 

They enjoyed looking inside and spotting buds, noticing 

the first signs that spring is on its way. 🌱✨
