Squirrels had a wonderful time floating boats down the stream, measuring the water depth and enjoying a very muddy and wet Forest School time. |

We met lots of animals on the farm. We stroked a turkey, looked at a sheep’s teeth, watched a cow lick it’s nose, met the piglets and listened to the sound of 500 turkeys! |

We looked for patterns and colours on the animals at the zoo. We liked the sunbathing meerkats! |

 We made soup. We called it Rainbow Soup. It was called Rainbow Soup because it had nearly all of the colours of the rainbow in it. Red was pepper and tomato, orange was carrot, yellow was pepper and sweet corn, green was courgette and broccoli and red onions because they look purple. We all tasted it. Not everybody liked it but some of us did. We had to cut up vegetables and peel vegetables. Charlie and Olivia did the washing up. By Lauren and Oscar |

 We are so lucky to have this amazing learning environment next to our little school. The children have had a wonderful time exploring the woods again and looking for signs of Autumn. Blackberries have been picked and shared (and used as paint!) fungus has been found and puddles splashed in. We can’t wait for more forest fun. |

The children made their own obstacle course at Forest School which turned into a Ninja Warrior course. They used their knotting skills to tie the ropes and make it exciting. The children loved the trapeze and spiders' webs as well as the ramp at the end. Brilliant teamwork, great skills and lots of fun! |

We enjoyed the visit by the author Clare Welsh. She shared two of her stories with us and we helped to act some out. We made our own rude ducks and sand art treasures. |
