Fantastic first forest school session with Year 6

What a fabulous forest session we all had. Bug hunting, chilling and having fun in the hammock, playing the forest ranger game and whittling sticks. We found lots of ladybird larvae, violet ground beetles and caught flies! Well done everyone.

Bug Hotels

Year 1 made their bug hotels at home and some children decided to put them into the Forest School area. Great job everyone!


Moving the wood chip

Year 1 had a fabulous time in Forest School moving the wood chip around the young trees. This helps to keep the roots warm which makes the trees grow more easily. It also stops the grass from growing around the trees.
