Forest Schools - Class LH

On a beautiful, crisp, sunny day Class LH headed off for our 'penultimate' (word of the week) visit to Robin Wood, we had three main activities:-

1) 1) We learnt about the different parts of leaves this week. We identified the tip, margin, petriole, mid-rib, veins and blade.  We did a leaf rubbing and then labelled our leaf to identify these different parts.

2)    We played Kim’s game (memory game) identifying the missing leaf from the tray - dog wood, willow,  copper birch, field maple, rowan, Silver birch and hazel.  After this we then went on a mini scavenger hunt to find one item each and then played the game again but using our own items.                                    

 3)   The third activity was to prepare yummy pizza wraps with Mrs Waddell and Mrs Morgan using cheese and tomato sauce ready to cook on the fire.  Mrs Waddell talked to the children about the safety rules around the fire before we lit it. We then had our wraps and Mrs Crittenden put the fire out safely using a little bit of water at a time.

We then ‘got busy’ on the craft table, making the tube water run, in the hammocks, digging in the pit and just sitting, enjoying watching and listening to the fire as it burnt.
