Sometimes we just sit and listen together, trying hard to identify the different bird songs filtering down through the trees.

Often the children will have spotted, identified or collected something as they cross the field that starts our discussion once we're sat down.

The details below are for each of the groups to demonstrate this, with annotations make each week shown in different colours. ]]> 2021-09-17 21:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bingleyn/txiwhg1jhfuwpexg/wish/1749631481 bingleyn https://padlet.com/bingleyn/txiwhg1jhfuwpexg/wish/1751703086 Year group allocations for Forest School 21/22.  Within your year group please decide who would like the Mon/Wed/Thur afternoon slot.  
I'll catch up with each year group about a month before the sessions start to brainstorm ideas and confirm class slots. If the meantime if you have ideas or queries come and find me.
