We’ve been using tools to create tools in Forest School this half term! We demonstrated lots of care and precision when using the billhook, knives and peelers.

We had a very rainy forest school today! It was so much fun jumping in muddy puddles and making boats for our ‘play people’ to float in! We enjoyed using a saw for the first time too!
We had fun roasting marshmallows over a camp fire in Forest school. They tasted delicious!
We had fun going around the school grounds finding different fruit that has grown and ripened over the holidays. We enjoyed eating apples from the tree, and tomatoes from the vines.
In science we have been learning about different types of animals. The children enjoyed making hedgehog houses, learning how bees find nectar, making seed bombs and bird spotting in the hide.
This group of Year 5s has begun to ready our allotment area at school. We have turned over the soil and prepared many pots for seeds to grow. We’re hoping to plant vegetables very soon since springtime is now upon us.
The year 5 children were very helpful in rehoming a few of our more established saplings that we planted in raised beds last year. We positioned them on the far end of our field, where we hope they will grow into larger trees alongside the others nearby.
