Christmas Time at Forest School
Christmas at Forest School
Christmas themed activities for the children to choose during their time at forest school offers lots of opportunities to work together or independently:- practising skills and decorating the wood for the festive season.
Huge twig Christmas trees help them with mastering knotting skills. The trees decorated with berries, cones and stars of gold leaves, encourage the children to stick and join materials together with what’s around them.
Decorations made from slices of wood use tools.
Lighting fires keeps us warm and adds brightness to the winter gloom. A great place to sit around and listen to Christmas stories of robins and fir trees.
Cooking Christmas pancakes and toasting marshmallows over an open fire – delicious!
To complete the festive season a visit from Santa is super surprise – although we did suspect he might be in the woods as we found footprints and deer tracks all through the wood. Tracking is great fun, but we all know the reindeer fly and don’t come from our wood!! Instead it is a good time to learn a little more about the native inhabitants to the wood!
