What a fantastic group! Well done to everybody who took part in this months Saturday club - everybody worked really well together to create an industrious team - give yourselves a pat on the back! We took a walk down the lane and carried the necessary equipment over to the forest school area. Those who had attended previously helped to introduce the newbies to Health and Safety issues including: Reens, tool carrying, safe tool use, tree house policy, fire safety and fire building. There was time to explore and create a couple of 'student lead' activities where attendees took it on board to clear the base of the tree house of dead grasses and play a game of hide and seek. The Planned forest school activities included: tree knowledge and identification, wood collection, use of lopper, use of bow saw, fire building, maintaining the fire, making hot chocolate drinks, planting vegetable seeds in preparation for the forest school veggie patch, knowledge of a variety of techniques for seedlings including greenhouses and propagators, tree house safety. Attendees has the opportunity for free play at the end. An enjoyable day was had by all!
