Children enjoyed using their Welsh language skills to practise their colours and using their incidental Welsh when asking for things during their colouring sessions. They also were able to follow a recipe in Welsh to make some delicious honey flapjacks! Bendigedig! Ambitious, capable learners.
Gwennol Forest School Session 6
During our final session the children enjoyed ligthing a camfire. After a safety discussion children were asked to collect a variety of tinder and kindling for their fire.
We then began to prepare our fire.
Once our fire was lit we started to prepare our marshmallows ready to toast whilst also fuelling our fire to keep it lit!
Gwennol Forest School Session 5
Nature Friends were invited to create a habitat for the fauna that call our forest school ‘home’. They thought carefully about all of the things that the insects would need and set about creating their habitats.
The Howlers were also thinking about our natural environment in our forest school area and they were invited to follow their interests and identify some of the flora in our area.
Forest School fun in Year 4!

'Howlers' Forest School Session
The ‘Howlers’ really enjoyed continuing there Forest School journey today. They played some team games and were invited to make a ‘new kingdom for the little people that had lost their kingdom in a recent flood’. They created some wonderful structures with superb detail. They enjoyed their ‘explore and discover’ time where they made soup, climbed trees and swung on ropes,

Gwennol's First Forest School Session!
All children in Dosbarth Gwennol had a fantastic first forest schools session today with Mrs Fielding and Miss Darling aka Butterfly Treeo and Wolf Birdie! The class was split into two groups ‘The Nature Friends’ and the ‘Howlers’ (yes the children came up with these names) and we enjoyed spending some time embedding our rules and routines and beginning our forest school experience. We talked about staying safe in the forest and we spent time exploring the woods.
