Forest School

Year 4 have been busy in the outdoor forest school area over the last two weeks. We have been designing and building animal habitats, resulting in the new edition of a hedgehog home in the hope of attracting a hedgehog or two. The children worked hard to find a suitable area for the den to go, added hay and leaves for a comfy bed, food to entice the animal in and then ‘camouflaged’ the area by adding lots of twigs and leaves to help the house blend into the natural environment. The children have also been busy on scavenger hunts, looking for different signs of nature, making natural paint brushes, decorating and hiding to rocks, building forts and dens and having fun playing in and exploring the different areas of our forest school. Next week, we will be doing some planting and we are hoping to have a camp fire in the coming weeks too! Great job so far Year 4
