W.C 20th October 2025

For our final week of Autumn 1 we looked at the festival of Diwali. We read the story of Binny’s Diwali hearing all about Rama, Sita, Hanuman, Baharata, Ravana and all the others central to the story of Diwali and how good triumphed over evil. We then had a go at making our own Diva lamps and made rangoli patterns using chalk and found natural materials.

This week the children had a focus of making a game using found materials where they were able to transport it and play it with someone else. There were some great ideas such as tic tac toe, a plaiting game and memory using leaves.

This week the children have been making things with wool and string. Some children used the Nordic slinging technique to make chord and others made wrapped journey sticks.

Reception parents joined their children for a 'stay and play' session this week. The children made conker comets from conkers and crepe paper, then had a competition to see which one would fly the furthest. They also showed their parents all the things they like to do when they come to Forest School.

This week in Forest School, the children discussed and set the rules together, pointing out any risks that they had noticed on the site and suggested activities they would like to do in future sessions.  We discussed the seasons and what season it might be currently and then went on a scavenger hunt to find if there were any signs of Autumn.
