This week we made bird feeders to help out local wildlife to prepare for the Winter when they will need extra padding to survive the cold. We used an open pine cone and butter as a binder, We then rolled bird seed carfully over the pine cones and hung them on trees in out outdoor spaces.
This week we explored some familiar and some not so familiar fruits. We used knives to cut them into cubes learning the sight, scent and texture of each one. We then placed them onto a kebab stick and enjoyed the mixture of the differnt flavours.
This week we went to Vicoria Park to visit the War Memorial. We read the names of the men and women who sacrificed thier lives for peace and we silently thanked them.
This week we followed a recipe to gather ingredients, mixed it into a dough, rolled it flat and fried it to a crispy flatbread that we enjoyed with hummus and dips.
This week we used real tools to make hibernation habitats for Ladybirds and Bees. The childen cut garden canes into small pieces, drilled a hole in both ends and tied them into bunches. We then placed them around in quiet areas the Forest School garden for insects to find and use for a safe cosy space.
Our first week of the new school year we harvested some of the vegetables we had planted in the Spring.
