🦉 Owls Forest School Adventure 🦉

This week, the Owls put their woodland skills into action! They carefully guided the toy animals safely around a pretend fire and assessed how the activity could be made even safer, suggesting longer sticks for roasting the cotton wool “marshmallows.” Fantastic risk-and-benefit thinking from everyone involved!

The children also enjoyed making and eating cold s’mores before working together to put up a tarp shelter, using their learned woodland skills to create some extra shade. We were so impressed with their teamwork, problem-solving and growing independence.

Well done, Owls! 🏆🌿🔥

🔥 Forest School Fun! 🔥

Reception Forest School July 7th

Our Reception girls worked brilliantly together this week in Forest School, assessing risks and finding ways to make the toy animals safe. They showed fantastic teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills throughout the activity.

To finish our session, we gathered around a real fire to cook our own marshmallows and enjoy delicious s’mores! What a wonderful way to celebrate a great afternoon of learning and adventure.

Well done, girls – you were amazing! 🌿🐾🔥🍫🤎
