Sparrowhawks had lots of fun today making traditional German decorated winter lanterns from clay with Julie Fowler, as part of our learning about Germany for World Awareness weeks. The finished lanterns will hold a candle, and the candlelight will shine through shaped holes made in the walls of the lantern.
Today we had toast at Forest School. Mrs Stroud made a fire and cooked the toast. Some of us were looking for treasure. We were lucky enough to find conkers today. We did some climbing and played in the dens.
