LIME
The forest had given some more sticks and branches for everyone to play with over the half term, mixed in with the bamboo, there’s so much to do! One group decided to make a shelter, as they were certain that Bigfoot was in the forest and they tried their best to survive. A group decided to try and replant one of the branches. They didn’t have much success at the beginning but kept going and eventually made a hole big enough for it to fit in. There was also a very fun game of Minecraft!
WILLOW
Oh boy did it rain! The drizzle that was coming down in the morning had turned into a full-on shower by the time Willow were outside but it didn’t dampen their spirits at all! A few did their best Peppa Pig impressions and were excited about the muddy puddles but the main fun came from den building. They deconstructed their old shelter and moved house near what forest dwellers call ‘the cave’, which was a great success. Another group were still making the new country and came up with a very repetitive national anthem, while the Red Robin pub carried on being built.
EYFS
The littlest members of the school had the most peaceful session ever! In class they noticed that some blue tits were flying in and out of the bird house, so they watched some videos of the chicks from last year and decided to find some soft things for them to build their nests out of. They found leaves and a few feathers which they hoped would help. They also made an excellent pancake shop and used some pots and pans to make delicious mud pancakes! The trees were also very popular, while another group found a mysterious message on a stick…
BEECH
Beech class were impressed with the new bird houses too and spotted some small birds in the tree and hoped that they’d find a space in the bird house. A group became obsessed with worms and went worm hunting and another group used some bamboo as an instrument, scraping it across different trees to see what sounds would be made. Another pancake factory appeared but they didn’t want to sell any pancakes to anyone. Crying could be heard from the hammock but it was just a couple of babies who needed to be rocked back to sleep!
MAPLE
Pancakes were on maple classes mind too and they even had a go at flipping them! They had varying degrees of success and had to work on the consistency of their batter, which always ended up being too runny. Elsewhere, the bamboo was used to try and rebuild a den (which also ended up turning into a pancake shop) and the digging zone was swept to try and make the slabs clean. The hammock was constantly in action and a walking/rock paper scissors game of ‘capture the flag’ was invented too.
