Fox Cubs have been creating their own stories using Story Door templates to guide them through each part of the narrative process. We have listened to some wonderful stories this way as the children have shared them with their friends. We have also moved onto the story 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Have You Seen?' which has helped us develop our colour awareness and which has led to some exciting adventures as we have made our own binoculars.

Year 1 have had a focus on team work in the past couple of sessions. Starting sessions with a group hide-and-seek game, they then went on to work together brilliantly, making dens and cooking up delights in the new mud kitchen! It was lovely to see them working collaboratively and helping each other out. The Sycamores were excited to hear our baby blue tits in the nest box! We also enjoyed making mobiles, spotting wildlife and making music. Photo gallery

Year 4 have been using peelers to whittle sticks into wands. There was a good level of skill in evidence as some of them were able to create quite a point to their wand before they decorated them. The next step will be some knife work.

Year 5 have had the opportunity to make some 'log dogs'.  By attaching a lead using a timber hitch knot we hope that some of the younger children will enjoy taking them for a walk to explore Forest School in their sessions.  The children were also able to plant sweet peas at the base of a cane wigwam which we hope will become a beautifully scented living den (if we can keep the slugs away!).
