It was looking rather murky out there this morning, but we didn't let that stop us. The forest schoolers came prepared with water proofs and made a rain shelter whilst being blown around by the wind. They made tent pegs from sticks and branches to prop up the shelter from inside. After having a well deserved snack, everybody settled down to concentrate on making a sword. They collected sticks as long as their arms and cut shorter sticks wider than their palms, using loppers and saws. They used potato peelers and knives to whittle and remove bark and used twine to tie their sticks together to make a sword that was just the right size! The group used 'dead wood' found on the ground. The group talked about having a sword fight and how to 'play safe' then had an amazing game of 'Robin Hood' in the forest school area. After lunch it was time to wander back to parents. Well done everyone - you were amazing!
