LIME
Lime class were very excited to find some shells and decided to make a number of seafood shops. One restaurant were so busy and even those that didn’t like fish were flocking by to have a taste. A small team found a huge bit of stone and began trying to get some obsidian from it. They were overjoyed when it popped free and couldn’t wait to put it in their class rock collection. An excellent double rope swing was made with a standard swing and a ‘dangler’, while a group of archaeologists dug looking for signs of Roman activity!
WILLOW
Willow have found a real routine in the forest this term and have been enjoying remaking/continuing and basically picking up where they left off. The country leader had groups making signs for various different parts of their nation and they had several different guards making sure everything was safe. The flint mine was back open, finding lots of great things. A new hammock was attempted to be made out of tarp but they realised that it probably wasn’t strong enough. One thing that did change was the location of a group’s den!
EYFS
Before heading into the forest each week, the little ones ask ‘can we come in please?’ and wait to see if the forest gives any signs that they can come in. This week as soon as they asked, a Red Kite flew overhead which they were very excited about. Once they were welcomed in, they played a very successful game of ‘1, 2, 3 Where are You?’ before setting off. A balance beam was created and they queued to take it in turns to wobble their way along, bamboo was collected, the tree was climbed and the hammock was used too.
BEECH
Beech class were excited to know that it was Spa Day on Friday and a huge group made a spa for bugs! It included a hot tub and a swimming pool for relaxing in and a sculpture was made for the bugs too. A restaurant was also founded and they made cookies for everyone. There was a lot of climbing too, with the main tree full pretty much the whole time. Some adventurers even pushed themselves to new heights and climbed where no man had gone before, crowds gathered to applaud and it was more impressive than anything they’d ever seen…
MAPLE
It was a breezy afternoon and all of Maple class were in today, which made for a very busy forest! A group decided to make their own bar to serve soup and drinks, they were having a great time until someone started singing ‘Let it Go’ and then a huge (and loud) talent show erupted. A couple of teams were working in tandem with one group making and mixing mud cement and passing it to another group who were spreading it over the roof of a den. Another crew discovered the shells and spun them in a bucket using centrifugal force!
