Forest School Week 2
More autumnal fun was had today. We acknowledged Remembrance Day by making Remembrance bracelets in poppy colours. This involved team work, helping each other with our wool twisting. We also made some wooden elves. First we had to practice knot tying, then used a vegetable peeler to scrape our stick and then draw a face and wrap (& tie a knot) wool around our stick. We also had lots of time to do our exploring which included den building, digging area, pond dipping and playing games. Think we'll all sleep well tonight!
Forest School Week 1
We had lots of autumnal fun in our first Forest School session. We made natural water filters to see how we could produce (fairly) clean water. We did some pond dipping and bulb planting too.
River Walk
We had a great morning for our walk along the River Derwent as part of our Topic work. We identified different river features, saw it being used in different ways and spotted some local wildlife. Unfortunately, we were unable to go for a paddle this year. The area was fenced off but a geologist came and explained to use that they were doing some work to install a type of big screw (?) in the river to use the power for the city of Derby. There were archaeologists there too, who were unearthing relics from the past. Very interesting - but disappointing as we couldn't have a paddle. We just spent some time at the park instead!
