Forest school learning in action

This week's focus for the year 5 children was the skill of creating and nurturing fires. The excitement and collaboration was great to see. Each group worked together so well, discussing ideas, applying their learning, listening, communicating and having a significant amount
of fun along the way!

The development of this area of our school grounds has enabled a whole new range of experiences to become part of our learning at St John's.

There is something about getting your hands dirty, carefully constructing a fire and then watching the first sparks burst into flames. The only thing we were missing was the marshmallows and the campfire songs!
