We had a lovely session at forest school today with the Nursery children. We wandered down to the fire circle, collecting sticks on the way in readiness for our campfire next week! 🔥 The children loved trying to snap the sticks so they would fit in the bag and delighted playing in the leaves too 🍂 . They were thick and dry and crunchy, lying on the floor and tempting the children to pick them up by the handful and throw them, making them rain down on each other! We noticed how much colder it's getting and talked about the birds needing to be well fed to get them through the winter. We made bird feeders from cones, lard and bird seed and hung them in the trees 🌳😀 🐦

Some Year 5 children visited the Kings Hall at Newcastle University to listen to some live music, which links with our music development plan. The children listened carefully to a variety of brass and woodwind instruments in this beautiful location. Our children asked the musicians some interesting questions. 🎺🎻🥁🎸
