Machen class have been having great fun in Forest Schools. As part of Elmer appreciation day we made a big collage of Elmer. We collected natural materials and worked as a team to create Elmer.

Today Machen class went on an Autumn scavenger hunt and use their 5 senses to see what they could find. They found something red, something that smells nice, something round, something long, something we can hear and something smooth.

Cader Idris have also been enjoying forest schools. They went on a nature hunt and then made nature crowns. 

Machen had a fantastic time in our new Forest Schools area. We explored the area and then collected natural materials to build houses for the Three Little Pigs. We are very excited for our next session in Forest Schools.

Machen made bird feeders using cheerios and pipe cleaners. We saw a squirrel, pigeon and a blackbird in the forest school area and hope they enjoy our feeders.

Machen pupils saw some bird nests at playtime. They asked if we could do some bird watching to see if any birds go back to the nest. We talked about Spring and that new animals are born and start to hatch, then we drew our own bird and birds nest using chalks. As it was a bit sunny we also drew around our friends shadow.
