Many hands make light work! Whether it was eco club, Cogden forest school session or after school club, all children took so much responsibility and pride in their forest school area today. The bug hotel was relocated, den building sticks chopped, wood store restocked and new additions added – a swing and rope ladder! The team work and communication between all groups was incredible to ensure everyone stayed safe whilst using tools.

In Monmouth this week, we have been thinking about what it would be like to be a pilot in the RAF during WW2. We have enjoyed reading our new book 'Tail-End Charlie' and are now planning the details we could include in a letter home to loved ones. Fabulous ideas have been flowing!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.

Wednesday was Monmouth’s final session. However, we had A LOT of fun! We started with a game of Strike, Smoke, Fire (aka zip, zap, boing). Monmouth class then had a go themselves and some were successful at lighting fairy fires! We also had a go with a battery and wire wool. It was fascinating to watch the energy travel through the wire. We ended the session with S’mores and Cinnamon sugar apples – YUM!

In Monmouth this week we have been cooking our French Patisserie Tarts. We made the delicious pastry cream on Monday and then created our masterpieces on Tuesday. Everyone did amazingly well and they were all delicious! Great job Monmouth!

We have been for a 2km walk today through our beautiful countryside as Rev. Chris is raising money for Christian Aid by walking 70k in May. We thought about what it would be like to have to walk that far to fetch water for your family and how heavy it would feel. If you want to support him, see the QR code or the link in the comments. Good luck with the rest of your 70km Rev. Chris!

Today, Chesil had a visit from Marie from Animals2U South West! Marie brought in 4 animals from different habitats around the world. They were Milly the millipede, Skippy the tree frog, Mikey the corn snake and Faye the polecat. She taught us lots about these animals, like where they live and what they eat and then everyone got to touch or hold the animals if they wanted! All the children showed our value of respect towards the animals and listened very carefully!

Bridport Community Fair is this weekend, so Monmouth class have been preparing forest school creations to raise money for Loders forest school. The children worked incredibly hard to make mindfulness rocks, gods eyes, journey sticks and pencils! We are really excited to hear how they do at the fair! Come and see the Primary Forest School stand to donate and choose your forest school creation to take home!

Forest School VE Day Celebration! Yesterday Monmouth class began the lesson with a tactical teamwork game called Capture the Flag followed by an attention and endurance game called Survivor. The remaining of the session Monmouth class had the choice of making bunting, a traditional VE Day decoration; flags using calico, pens and a stick; and rafts as this was a mode of transport that would’ve been used during the war. We even tested the rafts to see if they would float on water. Lots of them were successful but some unfortunately capsized!

Chesil class had lots of fun this week, drawing outside in the sunshine as part of their art lesson! The children chose different natural objects, such as leaves or flowers and worked carefully to use different types of line and shape to draw what was in front of them. They all showed great patience and observation skills!

Yesterday eco club focused on the willow den. We’ve practised weaving the willow back into the structure to create shade and a structure for children to relax in during break time and forest school. Monmouth class enjoyed a warm and sunny session focusing on habitats. They investigated, identified and improved the habitats at the forest school site. One group build a habitat for a bat while another built a habitat for a badger. As you can imagine these were very different and the groups thought about lots of different aspects including sleeping area, food and protection. Monmouth class have ‘adopted a spot’ within the forest school to care for at the end of each session. Ask your child which spot they’ve adopted!
