This week Reception went down to Creature Corner for their very first Forest School session.

We arrived at Creature Corner and walked through together to become familiar with our new environment. Mrs Solomon explained the rules about being safe, looking out for our friends and respecting the plants, trees and animals that live in this area. We then played a little game where we had to go off and explore, when we heard the whistle, we had to come back to base camp immediately. All the teachers were very proud of how well we listened and did this. Next it was snack, and we went and sat in the outdoor classrooms to have our fruit and milk. Back in the woods we worked in groups to try and identify different types of trees using their leaves. We had to carefully pick one leaf and look at it closely when trying to identify it on the spotter sheet.
