We were all set for our first ever Forest School open day on Saturday. The school was prepared and ready to go with lots of indoor and outdoor activities for our invited preschoolers to enjoy.

Outside there were animals to say hello to (a miniature pony and 2 young goats), a treasure hunt to find some Julia Donaldson characters, a mud kitchen, a pile of leaves to play in, making bird feeders using pine cones and apples and listening to our conker tree telling its story.

Inside, as well as wonderful refreshments of fruit and cakes and drinks, there were craft activities such as making stick people, wands, wooden slice decorations, playdough, and of course, viewing our wonderful classrooms and sensory room.

Our pupils showed parents around the school, helped the preschoolers with activities and staff and parents were on hand to share information about the school.

The weather was fantastic and we all had a good time.
