EYFS – Forest School – 12/11/26

Despite the cold, it was a lovely sunny, dry morning for Forest School and the pupils in Reception made the most of it! Exploring our Forest School area, children had the opportunity to lead their own learning through activities in the mud pit, sand pit and mud kitchen. Children could also take advantage of the dry weather by relaxing in a hammock or taking part in a bit of outdoor yoga amongst the trees. As it was so sunny, we had our solar panels out to charge our portable battery and we discussed how they convert the sun’s energy into electricity and the pupils had a great time watching the numbers change based on shadows cast on the solar panels. That then led into activities involving shadows where children could create their own shadow drawings using pens and charcoal and created pine cone pictures based on shadows.
