Reception’s Last Forest School Session

-

 This week the children enjoyed exploring our forest school activities. These include; bug hunting, den making, tree climbing, mud kitchen, rope climbing, building with with real bricks, hammocks, tyre swing, independent exploring and identifying wildlife. During the second part of the session, we made a small camp fire and toasted some sugared apple slices to make toffee apples. The children were told how to approach and stand next to a fire, how to hold a toasting fork, how to toast the apple without burning it, and how to check that it is cool enough to eat. The activity was a huge hit and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
