Forest School Mystery Revealed: Rabbit Class Creation

Over the past few weeks, Rabbit Class have been immersed in a special Forest School challenge filled with mystery, creativity, and hands-on learning. Children took home intriguing clues — wooden blocks to cut, conkers and buttons to collect, and long pieces of fabric to prepare — all sparking curiosity and conversation.

This week, the secret was finally unveiled: the children were making rabbits!

As part of the project, pupils developed a range of practical tool skills. They used bow saws to cut wooden blocks, hammers to assemble parts, and sandpaper to smooth their creations. These activities not only supported fine motor development but also encouraged safe tool handling and teamwork.

Each clue played a part in bringing their woodland rabbits to life. The project fostered problem-solving, imagination, and collaboration — and the final results were a joy to behold.

Well done to Rabbit Class for your enthusiasm, creativity, and craftsmanship. We’re incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved!

Hammocks, spiders and a top secret project. 

Rabbit Class had an action-packed day in Forest School, filled with curiosity, creativity, and outdoor adventure. They kicked things off by developing their hand-eye coordination, carefully cutting chunks of wood for a mysterious secret project—what could it be? The excitement continued as they practised knot tying, mastering the timber hitch to hang their very own hammocks. With tools in hand, they then explored the fascinating insides of conkers using palm drills and conker clamps, uncovering nature’s hidden treasures. The adventure wrapped up with a thrilling continuation of their spider exploration. Somehow, Rabbit Class always manages to find the biggest ones… and they love every minute of it! It was a day of hands-on learning, teamwork, and fearless exploration, and we can’t wait to see what they uncover next.

A Day of Discovery: Harvesting Nature's

Lessons.

What an incredible day of hands-on, nature-based learning our Forest School students experienced!

The children's excitement was palpable as they stepped into our vegetable garden to harvest the fruits of their labor. With baskets in hand, they gathered sweet-scented raspberries, sun-ripened tomatoes, and curious little cucamelons.

This activity was about more than just collecting food; it was a sensory journey that ignited a passion for discovery. The children asked insightful questions about plant life, which led to impromptu lessons on growth cycles and sustainability. Later, they honed their observational skills by carefully examining and identifying male and female spiders.

This holistic approach to learning-combining practical life skills with scientific observation in an outdoor environment-builds confidence, independence, and a deep, lasting connection to the natural world.
