Forest School Fire Strikers
Today at Forest School, the children had the exciting opportunity to use fire strikers as part of their outdoor learning. This activity was carefully supervised and focused on teaching fire safety, control, and respect for nature.

Problem solving in forest school
This afternoon Anna read us a story from Winnie The Pooh -
Eeyore needed a new house and Cross Fell was given the task to build him one!
The children showed wonderful creativity, problem solving by working together and showing fantastic teamwork!
Super job Cross Fell
Paper Mache
Cross fell are making paper Mache hot air balloons. This ties in with the transport topic they are learning. We had allot of fun.
We are illustrators!
Just before Christmas we each drew a monster to be included in the young writers book ‘Monster Mayhem’. We have received a certificate to mark this achievement and all children will bring a letter home tonight to give permission for their artwork to be published. Well done Cross Fell!
He's behind you! Cross Fell visit the pantomime
What a fantastic morning we have had at Hexham! We really enjoyed watching the pantomime Red Riding Hood and loved our snack bags in the interval. A huge thankyou to everyone on the PTA and Alston and Garrigill charity for their kind donations to make our trip happen and Ms Reed who organised…

Computing
Wow, we can alter photographs!
Children independently changed their photograph to black and white.
We discussed that images that we see in different places can be altered as well.
Marshmallows!
Forest School Friday! Today Anna talked to us about campfire safety in our session before we toasted marshmallows. We got to eat them with biscuits. We also got to meet our two new resident chickens!
