Walnut Class Forest School 26/06/26

 

As it was an extremely hot week, we moved from our usual Forest School site to a shady area beneath a canopy. To help keep everyone cool, most of the activities were water-based.

The children enjoyed mark-making on the ground using ice cubes and paintbrushes with water. Miss Hines kindly brought water balloons, which were a big hit. They also had lots of fun shaking a tarpaulin with water on top, creating a refreshing shower of water droplets.

The children took part in a barefoot trail, exploring different natural materials such as sand, leaves, conkers and water with their feet. They enjoyed describing the different textures and sensations.

We finished the session with a fun game of Disco Detective, where one child secretly led the dance moves while the detective tried to guess who the leader was. It was a great way to end a fun and active session.
