Primary 2 and Primary 1 Forest School

Wednesday means one thing for me:Forest School!

Primary 2 have their session in the morning and Primary 1 come out to the woods in the afternoon.

This week both classes started with a scavenger hunt which was to let me see who would persevere with a tricky task; e.g. finding something blue growing in the woods and also to see how well out meeting cry worked.

After they shared their findings, both classes chose to build dens or do some digging in the mud (apologies for the grubby nails!)  

Some of P2 got to help cut down a tree (coppicing) and then sawed tree cookies from the freshly felled timber! The children were aware of how sharp the saw was and all took great care to stay safe when working with it. The rest of P2 will get the chance to try using a saw next week.
