Anne Booth, a fabulous local author came to visit us this week in Forest School - we were very lucky.
She read the book 'BLOOM' (in very sunny weather) which is all about being kind and caring. This was our theme for the afternoon. On offer were log slices and palm drills, which they could decorate and give to another person as a sign of their appreciation and kindness. We also planted sunflower seeds that will hopefully grow into our first big flowers in our new raised beds.
At the beginning everyone chose a 'sit-spot' for a little quiet time, to listen to the birds and see how they (the children that is) were feeling. We spoke about the sun being important for our bodies as it gives us Vitamin D.
Interestingly most classes were interested in exploring the mound this week and they had enormous fun rolling down it as the weather conditions were drier than the previous week.
We also saw more den building and some children started to help filling the last raised beds.
