Nursery / Reception

This year in Forest school the children are working on lots of different skills. They are building confidence in nature, this includes exploring in the forest and following the safety rules. They have started to attempt to climb the trees and the rope equipment which is all tangling from the trees and not on stable ground. 

Nursery and Reception children have completed some challenges already in Forest school. They have all worked together to build a den. The only rule being at least one person had to fit inside.

The following week the children and I worked together to build a taller tent. This meant we could all fit inside. Once they completed the challenges they had lots of fun in the forest and helped one another to use and play on the different equipment. 

Mini challenge week, Reception and Nursery had lost of different activities to complete in forest school this week. They had blocks to walk along, ladders to climb, a swing to jump on as well as trees to climb. It was another great forest school session enjoyed by all.  

Another fantastic forest school sessions this week. Nursery and reception had lots of fun using the shovel to clean up leaves and fill the tyres as well as completing a weekly challenge. This week the challenge was to complete tree faces. This meant that they had some clay, they chose a tree and spread the clay on the tree to get an imprint. We have some awesome tree faces. 

A great session today the children started to create a bug hotel and will be doing this again next week. Once they had completed the challenge everyone went and played in the forest, climbing trees or using the equipment.
