This week at Forest School, our pupils learned about knots and their many uses. Using the wood prepared in our last session, pupils collected four pieces and tied them together with green twine. Employing the clove hitch knot and square lashing techniques, our pupils crafted beautiful square picture frames. Each pupil discovered their unique approach, fostering individual creativity and problem-solving skills along the way.

Under the guidance of Mr. A Proverbs, Forest School Leader, pupils then collaborated on crafting a sign for the area they are working in.

Following this, pupils were tasked with creating bug hotels. With a little assistance, they filled these shelters with natural treasures found on the forest floor—pinecones, leaves, sticks, and grass—to create cosy habitats for insects to thrive.

To finish the session, pupils completed a bug hunt across the site.
