In the woods! Forest School

CONKER SPIDERS EYFS is having a great time in their weekly forest school session. All classes get to experience two lots of six sessions across the year - all seasons and all weathers. This week our Abbey Lens is shining a light on EYFS Forest school. The morning was filled with curiosity and creativity! Some children teamed up with Mrs. K to craft conker spiders using a palm drill, while others got their hands dirty in the mud kitchen. We had budding birdwatchers making feeders to hang in the trees, and imaginative builders constructing masterpieces with loose parts like planks, tyres, and crates. The excitement didn’t stop there! Children explored the water station with pumps and guttering, hunted for worms in our digging area, and created beautiful leaf confetti using hole-punching tools.We also introduced the slack line, which many bravely tried out! After such a busy morning, we came together as a team to tidy up before enjoying a snack and story in the bell tent. This week’s tale was “The Leaf Thief,” sparking even more discussions about nature. See the Forest school blog for more! https://www.abbeyfederation.co.uk/news- and-events/blogs/forest-school
