In forest school today Year 1 pretended to be bats and use their sense of hearing to find and catch the 'moths'. Then they used their sense of touch to explore the trees and find them again after their blindfolds were removed. All of the children worked well in their teams and helped each other. The children also used the hammers and leaves to make patterns on cloth which is called Hapazome. Well done everyone!
