Just before we broke up for Christmas, the Year 3 and 4 classes in Forest School were set an Arts and Crafts task. They were given an assortment of pre-drilled Hazel sticks and shown how to assemble them to make a cute little rustic-looking reindeer.
This blog highlights the range of activities the children at Riversides School, from beginning of Primary - through to Year 11, experience during their weekly Outdoor Education lessons. The opportunities coupled together with the diverse settings the children get to visit enables them to engage in their learning through a wide variety of ways. With the range of activities, it also allows for cross curricular links such as ICT, English, Science and Maths.

Rustic reindeer craft
It is a great opportunity to introduce the use of a few basic tools and many of the pupils jump at the chance.
It's an engaging task that some of the pupils find quite tricky but with a little encouragement and a few helpful pointers from staff, most of them persevered to come away with a charming memento for the festive season.
...And as always, someone has to cut some wood to keep the Forest School campfire burning.
Well done OD'O.
