Rowan Class - Forest School

 

This morning Rowan class had the opportunity to attend forest school for the first time this academic year. A big thank you to those who sent the children in with wellies, waterproofs and a change of clothes. If you haven’t done this yet please do so as soon as possible to ensure your children can attend sessions. 

We played the boundary game to remind us of how far we go at forest school, we skipped/jumped and ran. There was time to explore with the magnify glasses, binoculars and bug catchers (I think most of the bug were hiding away due to the cold weather). The children learnt how to use tree setting safely. We also enjoyed making our necklaces and picking our forest school names for these. We are looking forward to our next session on Monday 19th Jan, remember to bring in your kit. 

Thanks Alison Ant

Rowan Class Forest School

 

This half term Rowan Class will be participating in Forest School sessions.  These sessions will take place on Friday mornings.  The first session will be on Friday 12th January.  These sessions are led by Miss Float (Jill Jungle Owl) and Alison Shorter (Alison Ant).  Your child will bring home a leaflet that explains/reminds you of what Forest School is all about.

The children in Year 2 are already familiar with Forest School, as they participated in two half term blocks of sessions in Year 1.

When participating in these sessions (whatever the weather), the children are required to wear tracksuit/jogging trousers and welly boots (with their school polo shirt and jumper).  These should be left in school to change into each week.  In wet/cold weather, the children will also need to bring a warm coat, a hat and gloves to wear.  The school will provide them with waterproofs to wear over the top of their clothing in extreme wet and cold weather.  Forest School sessions take place whatever the weather, so it is important the children are properly dressed, so that they can participate in and enjoy each session fully.

In preparation for our first session, please send into school for your child a pair of tracksuit/jogging trousers and a pair of welly boots, in a named carrier bag.

Many thanks for your continued support.  We are sure your children are going to be looking forward to having the opportunity to participate in Forest School again.
