Forest school club 10th & 11th May

This week we were doing lots of interesting things with earth and clay. We have moved soil to our new raised beds, ready to plant more herbs, vegetables and flowers. Some of the children have also planted pumpkin seeds, to care for at home. While we were moving earth, we thought about how to use spades safely and care for tools. We were excited to see that some leaves are now emerging from the recently planted potatoes (kindly donated by the headmaster).  

Thank you to John for the work he is doing on laying a path to the pond. We hope to be pond-dipping very soon!

Change of Routine

I am sure you have noticed that we have installed a new fence at the bottom of our car park. As a result, not only has this almost doubled the amount of space children have to play it has also increased the security of the site during and after school hours. 

We have now added a lock to the gate on this fence and nee to explain site access arrangements, so please read this article.
