This week it was the Year 3's turn to enjoy making reindeers in Forest school.  The children selected various sizes of hazel wood pieces and used whittled sticks to join them together. They added oak twigs for the antlers, a fluffy cotton tail and fun googley eyes, to complete their reindeers.  The marshmallows around the campfire made for a warming end to a chilly session!

Mindfulness Club

​This week in our final mindfulness club session for the term, we made our own glitter jars. Sometimes our thoughts and emotions get all stirred up and it makes it hard to think clearly. A glitter jar can be a good tool to help you settle your feelings. The group enjoyed watching the glitter in the jar and listening to calming music – a great way to end our day at school.
