Tomorrow is international mud day and KS2 had a fabulous afternoon celebrating it! They decided to make mud sculptures in either small groups or independently. The children mixed together the compost and water to make the right consistency for sculpting mud and after creating their mud sculpture they used the natural resources in the forest to decorate them.
This week reception have been making story sticks. They made up their own stories and acted them out, they found different objects in the forest to help them remember their story and tied them to their story stick. After they had enjoyed their adventure they shared it with the group using the story sticks to help them remember what had happened.
Well done reception we really enjoyed hearing your stories! These are the children’s stories
One of the boy groups found a giant and a bean stalk and they used the climbing tree as their bean stalk. They then found the giant and took feathers from him. Once they had escaped they chopped the bean stalk down.
The girls found some magical animals on the field and played with them. They played music to them and sang to them.
Another group found a monster in their story and it was chasing them. They then found monster food and fed the monster to become friends.
This week we read the story ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’ with our nursery group. The children loved the story and joined in with the actions. We decided to go on our own bear hunt in the forest, so as we re-told the story we went to hunt for Rosie Bear!
This afternoon Nursery created some beautiful pictures and patterns using mud paint. We talked about what we needed to use and what we might want to paint. After their activity, nursery decided to play at the music area in the forest while some of the boys explored for mini beasts!
