Year 2 have been looking at different human and physical geographical features in the forest school area. We oriented our maps so we could find different locations and we labelled the features on our maps.

Year 6 have been using their knowledge from previous work on shelter building. We recapped our skills from previous years and planned a different shelter to bring all our knowledge together.

We used our plans to make prototypes.

In reception, we have been looking at the signs of autumn and planting spring bulbs.

"The leaves are falling down"

"You might see some red, orange and green."

"I found a seed. When you throw it up, it spins around like a helicopter."

We have looked at different birds we can see in our school grounds. We have talked about their habitats and what they like to eat. The children have explained that the birds need lots of food so they can look after their babies.

Year 1 investigated the different patterns they could find in nature.

In year 2, we have started using our geography knowledge and skills to explore the school grounds using maps and identifying human and physical features.

"We have been learning about the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. The Jewish people build Sukkahs during Sukkot."

"The Sukkahs are built to remind them of their ancestors who travelled through the desert."

"The Sukkah must have at least three walls and a hole in the roof so they can see God's light."

"The Sukkah has to be made of natural resources."

After the death of Her Majesty The Queen, We have been thinking about all the things that she enjoyed. The children have framed different scenes in the forest school area which they thought should be protected in her memory.

"We are framing things that we thing should be protected because The Queen enjoyed them."

"We should protect the environment from pollution and climate change so I framed the sky."

"I framed the sky because it looked beautiful with the sun shining."

"In this frame there is a fungus. They need protecting because they connect the trees together to share nutrients."

"I put flowers in my frame. It is important to protect them because the bees need the nectar."

"The bees collect pollen as well and they go to a different flower. The pollen mixes on the flower to make new seeds."

"Children should learn about the environment because they are the ones who can grow up to protect it."

In PSHE, we create our own forest school rules. We remembered them all from last year and added some extra ones.

We discussed how artists use colour for different purposes and investigated how we could make vivid colours in nature.
