Forest School has been a real highlight this autumn. Year 2, together with a group of Year 3 pupils, have begun their three-week block, and it has been wonderful to see them getting to know the outdoor space.
Methley Meadow is looking beautiful as we move through the autumn season. On their first visit of this academic year, the pupils had time to explore the site and familiarise themselves with its different areas. They then went on a scavenger hunt to collect natural materials, which they used to create their own autumn wands. There was a real sense of curiosity and enjoyment as they searched for their treasures.
Some pupils chose to build bridges over the stream, and there were plenty of opportunities for every child to engage with nature in a hands-on way. Moments like these show how much learning can happen beyond the classroom walls.
The pupils have another two weeks to enjoy the meadow before we pause Forest School for the winter. Sessions will resume in March, and we look forward to continuing this valuable outdoor learning when the time comes.
