Autumn Equinox Party

The Forest Schools Fairies wrote to us and told us about the Autumn Equinox, they also left us some things to help us celebrate with a party, including a new fire pit. We used our new blending skills to read the word “pit” on the box and then worked out how to put it together. Some children helped Mrs Freeman put the fire pit together. They also left us delicious apple cake to eat at the party, marshmallows to toast on the fire and the things to make leaf crowns from.

Mrs Gregory lit our first forest schools fire and we all learnt how to keep safe around the forest schools fire pit area.

We read a story called “Round as a Moon cake” and learnt a little bit about the Chinese Moon festival celebrated at this time of year.
