More Forest school fun: We've been having fun going outside to find sticks. I have really been amazed by how many activities we've been able to do just with the simple stick!
There is so much learning, for example thinking about health and safety (keep your sticks pointed down), making up songs ('Tap your sticks', 'this is the way we drum our sticks'), laying them straight, jumping over them and encouraging role play and imagination such as in this picture where we made a stick house. The children loved this activity and kept on talking about it and were able to tell their parents at pick up time. I think this is a really good example of how Forest School promotes independence, imagination and confidence building.
