We started with making a banner to put up in the Forest School site ready for the school fete on Saturday. Most of us got busy with the clay, making hand prints on the cloth and our clothes and then the charcoal came out. We are going to ask people to draw their own special tree on the banner on Saturday and the group today started adding some of their favourite things about FS to the banner.
We had a quite relaxed session with a very complicated game with teams called gummy bears and cola bottles going on which Kate and I did not really understand but it was great play. The group worked well together coming up with different scenarios and including everyone who wanted to play.
Dipping in and out of the game, the children played on the rope ladder, built a den and of course played in the sand pit. I worked on tree house with different individuals coming and having a go at sawing with the bow saw or tying pieces of wood to the frame and by the end of the session we had finished the floor and built a safety rail around the outside. All it needs is a ladder and a roof, which we should of done by next week.
As part of the School fete we will be making wood cookie nametags so encouraging everyone to have a go with the bow saw and being creative in their decorating.
Next week is our last before the summer holidays so its cook out time.
