Protecting our plants

Whilst we were out at Forest Schools we were worried that some of the other children in our school would not see the lovely plants that were emerging from the winter soil. So we decided to make signs to show that there were plants growing and that children should be careful!

Brooms sticks

Today the Fairies left us a letter telling us that we had forgotten a vehicles that Mr Gumpy could have used – a broom. We read a story about Winnie the Witch and how she travelled on a broom. Then we made our own brooms and travelled around forest schools on them.

Bike afternoon

After we had spent the morning riding our bikes we compared photos of our bikes to photos of bikes from the past. We used the words similar and different. During busy jobs time the children took on roles of bike mechanics in the bike repair shop, the children took their roles very seriously! We also used bike wheel art work to inspire our own bike wheel art.

Bike day

Today we bought our bikes into school – Isaac said it was the best day at school! We rode our bikes in the morning, talking a lot about bike safety and how we could keep safe on our bikes. We chose to wear hi vis jackets as it was cloudy and grey. The children were kind and courteous to the other riders. Mrs Noden taught us about road signs and we followed a one way system. When the traffic lights were changed to red we practised stopping and not starting again until they had been changed to green. We also learnt o stop at the pedestrian crossings.

Changing seasons

The Forest Schools fairies set us a challenge to spot any changes that had occurred in the forest schools area over the Christmas holidays. We took photos of anything we spotted with the i pads. We learnt to focus in on the object we are taking the photo of using the i pads. We worked together as a team to take the photos, cooperating and taking turns.
