Willows paint the forest…
 
Willows have been working on creating a pirate boat for the  last few weeks. Today they learnt how to make chalk paint, and used it to paint the mast and parts of the boat. First they hammered some chalk to make a fine powder, then stirred in water…then found somewhere to paint!
 
The fairy village also got a very special make-over this afternoon. It’s never looked so colourful and welcoming!
 
We also enjoyed some super counting…firstly making conker snakes, followed by this 1-10 number line…
 
As you can see, Willows are loving their time out in Forest School. They are always busy learning, talking and communicating and are interested and enthusiastic about all the things they discover.
 
Filling feeders and lugging logs…
 
Oaks helped to look after the Langley School birds this morning, by filling up all our bird-feeders. They enjoyed pouring and measuring and took great care not to overfill them. It was fun to feel and play with the leftover seeds!
 
We also used our muscles today, to take some log dogs for a  walk through the woods! This was hard work and involved lots of co-ordination…
 
We also did a bit of counting and investigating, swinging and the ultimate in chilled out relaxation…forest sun bathing!
