Year 2 – Forest School, June 2018

1st July 2018T Capon

Year 2 have visited our Forest School. It is such a lovely, calm, beautiful environment. The children did team building games – getting that hoop around the circle without breaking hands was tricky and required others to help!

We used our senses to find out about the world around us. We made a natural palette of colour from our surroundings- this need very careful looking. We hugged a tree and realised that they all feel different. Having a snack and a drink was exciting in the Forest School but of course we cleaned our hands first! We also made tree rubbings. Finally we created our own environmental art!
