Just going over our safety talk at the beginning of another beautiful day in the forest. Today we will be writing outdoor inspired poetry, making clay creatures, cooking S’mores, creating @RFJamesUK art, making a story tree and an assault course for Teddy! #outdoorlearning

Our first piece of @RFJamesUK inspired art!

More cooperative art inspired by @RFJamesUK

Some of our forest inspired poetry

We had lots of fun in forest school making clay creatures. We used natural materials to add detail and texture to them. Everyone came up with such inventive ideas- lots of animals, book characters, and mythical creatures!

Just finished reading 'The night bus hero' by onjali rauf and we loved it! Many thanks for writing such a super book from a different perspective. A super novel to enjoy on our return to school.

Another busy day of outdoor learning in the forest. Creating our own Knots & Crosses pieces, improving our photography, writing Poet-tree, a tree workout, drawing maps and what can we do with 1m of string? #outdoorlearning #fun #HWB

Busy creating a floating garden today, in teams. Addressing a need in Bangladesh to combat annual flooding. #SDG #DYW #creativity

A fantastic morning for a water fight as part of our final week of fun in P5-7. Mrs Giles had fun too 🤣
