Forest Time
17.1.25. Today we made a map of our forest area. The children have worked on maps for the last 2 weeks and really enjoyed creating their own of our familiar forest area. They looked great! They worked in pairs to walk through the forest and drew the main features that we saw and would see from the sky.
29.11.24. Today we made a đ„ campfire! We had to first of all made a circle using bricks for the edge of the campfire, then collected sticks and twigs to fit inside; making sure that each stick wasnât too long to fit in the circle. We sang the songs Londonâs Burning to fit with our topic about the Great Fire of London. Then sang âcampfireâs burningâ. We enjoyed hot chocolate and a story about one more and one less - A Squash and a Squeeze, by Julia Donaldson
15.11.24 On Children in Need day, we went into the forest to look for autumn leaves as bright as Pudsey. We then decorated them with spots or a Pudsey Bear face! We threw him back into the forest to hunt next week. We enjoyed a story âThe Smartest Giant in Townâ about kindness, for our AntiBullying week and enjoyed a yummy hot chocolate on this cold day!
8.11.24. Today we went on an Autumn Hunt! Then we enjoyed the autumn leaves đ
17.10.24. This week we explored pattern. We read âWeâre going on a bear huntâ and joined in with the story, noticing the patterns eg âswish swosh swish swoshâ and âstumble trip stumble tripâ. We then went on our own bear hunts around the forest. After that we collected 2 different items and made a repeating pattern with them. Take a look below!
4.10.24. This week we transferred our maths skills to the forest. We thought of a rule to stick to for our collection of natural objects for example, things that are green, brown, spiky, bumpy or smooth. We then photographed them before coming back to the classroom to look at and challenge our friends to guess our rule. We read Elmer and the Rainbow and then went on an Elmer parade in our bright and colourful puddle suits!
27.9.24 This week we developed our maths learning on matching and found 2 objects that were the same in the forest.
Session 1. In our first Forest Time session, we explored the forest, learning and remembering the rules to keep us safe, found natural objects, built a camp fire, sang some songs and sheltered from the rain!
