To start with, the ‘swearing’ is actually ‘swelling’ of one of our Year One Forest Schoolers who had a nasty reaction to something in the tall grass and after ten minutes of sneezing and eyes running he looked like he had done a round in the ring with someone much bigger than him. He was rushed up to the school to wash his face and the Head took him home where he told his Mum that he had come home because he had started swearing (swelling) at Forest School.
After this excitement we got back to being too hot in the sun, so we all headed under the tarp shelter in the cool. We started work on the floor of the tree house with the group taking it in turns to cut lengths of wood to go across the frame and then raft lashing them into place. We are about halfway across now and next week we will put the rest of the floor down and start putting safety rails around.
We will be organising an appeal for the poor children of Holt who feel deprived because they don’t have a beach to hand! It would appear that a group at Forest School only want to play in the sand pit and only coaxing them out with hot chocolate works.
We had our first game of thicket hide and seek this term this week and how much better is it now plants are growing up. One girl managed to get within a couple of feet of the square by crawling through the long grass but the last man standing managed to run from one side of the site to the other within the 10 second moving time to hide in the willow den.
Next week more work on the tree house and a giant poster ready for the school fete.
