Lesson 1 - Explorers

For our first series of lessons we've taken the theme of the Vikings. As we arrived in the land of the Anglo Saxons as explorers we had to look for evidence that these people were here and what they were like. The children came back with all types of ideas from the food they may eat to the types of weapons they had. Here are some pictures of the collections the children made.

Week 2 Taking a step up

On a ladder this week - never could climb trees that well! Back in the classroom again for half the day as we watch the morning mist slowly rise to reveal the sun. All a bit more serious this week as we contemplate preparing a handbook and all the issues around risk assessments.

The afternoon is out in the open air in a real Forest School, time to collect objects 'treasure hunt' and tell our stories that they inspire then to risk assess the area so we are familiar with the routine we will need to complete in our own locations.
