Forest School
April 2026
Year 2 made a fantastic start to Forest School with a brilliant first session!
Using jewellers’ loupes , the children explored real plants up close, discovering tiny details in leaves , stems and roots . They learned to identify the different parts of a plant and got hands-on in the garden—exploring, weeding and preparing beds for planting.
We planted sunflowers , radishes and peas , which we’ll transfer to the planters in the coming weeks
The session also introduced Forest School rules and fire safety , ending with songs around the fire
A wonderful start, full of curiosity and teamwork —we’re excited for what’s to come!
