Welcome back to Covert Woods Year 6. After remembering the rules for the boundaries and staying safe, we listened to the noises around us. It was a little windy and we could hear the trees but no birds this time. Most of the woodland trees in this area are beech trees, which some of the children remembered.
As the children have been learning about Harry Potter, I thought it would be interesting for the children to learn a little about the folklore of the trees. Children went around and found some facts - for example 'Which god was associated with the oak tree?' (God of thunder - as oak trees were often struck by lightning).
We thought about mythical woodland creatures and they used natural materials to build their own creatures. We played a couple of games, found mushrooms, insects and other animals, worked as a team, moved around and enjoyed being out in nature!
