Reception used chalks to draw pictures of themselves on the tree stumps and trees today. The children loved sharing their pictures with each other, talking about the different parts of their body. Beautiful pictures Reception! 

Reception had a fantastic afternoon making leaf kebabs this week. They each made their own kebab discussing the colours, sizes and textures of their leaves and why they are now all different colours. This activity also developed their fine motor skills. Great job Reception! 

This week at Forest School Reception met Rosie Bear, who is our forest friend that loves meeting new children and playing with them in her forest. All of the children introduced themselves to Rosie by telling them their name. Rosie had a lovely time playing with you all in her forest, she can’t wait for you to come back next week! 

This week Key Stage 1 have used their team building skills to work together and create a piece of natural art. They used only the natural resources in the forest to create beautiful pictures. We discussed at the end how we made our pictures and what we really liked about each other’s. well done Key Stage 1!

This week we made some music in the forest, we practiced lots of different ways of moving and we found lots of numbers to help us count. We have enjoyed our trip to the forest! 

In forest school we used chunky chalk to create pictures on different surfaces in the forest. We also worked together to make a “party tree”

This week, reception used the muddy kitchen to make different foods and even some magic potions. They talked about how they were going to make them and what they were going to do. 

Reception have been reading about caterpillars and butterflies, so we used the natural materials in the forest to make our own pictures.

We used sticks to tap, scrape, bang and make music. We sang songs to the music we made.

We built the stick house from the 3 little pigs story.
