Back at Forest School!
We were really excited to go back on the Forest School site today.It has been very slippery after the bad weather so we have been going for walks instead. It was good to be able to climb, build dens, hammer in stakes and do some swinging today. We had lots of fun even though it was cold and frosty. We put fleeces on and Jasper said he was wearing 6 layers!
London, Natural History Museum, Charlie and the Chocolate factory & Radio Edie – What more could you ask for!?
BAM Group Adventure
On the 11th February the first ever BAM boys group set off on a 5 mile hike that took them along Rodborough Common, past Minchinhampton common and down through Amberley and Theescombe to Dunkirk Mill. From there we walked along the cycle path into Nailsworth and finally arrived at our destination, a yurt in Rockness, where we had our awards ceremony.
Over the last 10 weeks the boys have been meeting to try out new challenges in order to build their skills in:
- Resilience
- Problem Solving
- Emotional Literacy
- Teamwork
- Leadership
- Self and Peer Advocacy
- Communication
I am incredibly proud of all of them for all they have achieved and it has been a privilege to guide them through this journey.
A special thanks must go to Miss Spiropulous who joined us on our hike (and brought the marshmallows)

Tree Cookies
Today at Forest School we made tree cookies. We had to saw through some wood to cut the cookie from the branch. We had to work as a team with Mrs Stroud.
Toast!
Today in Forest School Mrs Ruther made a fire and cooked some toast. We had to collect lots of dry wood for her to use in the fire. We ate lots of toast…it was yummy!
Animal Art 🎨
Today we made the most of the wonderful sunshine and took our learning outside. Our topic this term is ‘Animals’ so we used natural materials to create some animal art. Can you spot which animals we are making in the photographs?
