Week 7

Our final week at the beautiful Roydon Fen.  There were mixed emotions for all of us; we were happy to be there, but sad that this was the last session.

Guess what?  No muddy pictures this week!

The children were excited to explore new ways of crossing the stream, they worked out that they could tie the two ropes to trees on each side.  Grace, Shannon and Josh decided that the ropes needed to be really tight, so I showed them how to tie an alpine butterfly knot and a round turn and two and half hitches! Then everyone pulled on the end of the rope to make sure it was really tight.

Shannon was first to try out the rope bridge... very brave.

She made it!

Josh calls everyone over to tighten the rope again.

Grace sets off...

...and speedily made it to the other side.

Well done Ryan!

Several other children took a turn at crossing the stream after I'd stopped pointing the camera at them!

 We  toasted marshmallows over a fire and chatted about our favourite moments at Forest School.

At the very end Honey suggested that a fitting end to our Forest School sessions would be if...
"Ange gets in the hammock and we all push her really high!"

 And that is precisely what they did, then they all jumped in with me for a photo!

Thank you to all of you that took part and made Forest School so wonderful. :)
