Today Deer class were set a challenge to build a den using a limited amount of supplies. They were given: one Tarpaulin sheet, two tent pegs, two guy ropes, three bungee cords, Two den poles and one large length of rope. They all really rose the the challenge, working in teams to solve the problems that they faced. I was super impressed with their designs and constructions.

Deer class had a very busy Forest school session. Before we even got the the Mystical Garden the children placed some potatoes on the windowsill for chitting- this means encouraging the potatoes to sprout before planting. After this, we went to the mystical garden where the children were encouraged to look out for signs of Spring and investigated different ways to draw daffodils.
Lots of the children were fascinated with the addition of a new bug hotel which led to insect hunting and creating the perfect habitats for them- we even had castle for insects to live in created.
The children also helped prepare the planting beds by using garden forks -to help loosen and turn the soil, removing old roots and weeds and making sure that any large stones were removed. We ended our session with a class game of forest school hide and seek.
