Today we were cooking! First we created the fire circle and lit the fire:<br />

We then set about preparing the food. We made Panzanella, which is Tuscan bread, tomato and pepper salad. This didn't require any cooking. We then prepared 'pitta pocket pizzas' and fruit kebabs.</div>

When we began Forest School Club back in April we learnt about the importance of reflection. We are taking a break now for a while as there are assignments to complete and exams to revise for so we ended our session today by reflecting on what we had learnt and enjoyed during our time at Forest School. <span style="font-family: inherit;">We e<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">xtinguished the fire each pouring over a cup of water and thinking or saying words of reflection.</span></span><br />

We couldn't all whittle at once so whilst we were waiting we worked in our teams to make a storyboard of a well known story. First we made a row of similar-sized frames out of sticks. Then using natural materials, each team told their story in a series of two- or three-dimensional pictures in the frames.</div>

<br />
<span style="color: black;">Our theme today was journeys and shelters. First we learnt two more knots which we would use later in the session to put up tarpaulin shelters. The first was a round turn and two half hitches, which is used to attach one end of the string to the tarpaulin:</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
The other knot was a figure of eight loop. This is tied half way along the string after it has been taken around the tree to which the shelter is going to be attached. The string is pulled through the loop and secured.<br />

Before setting off we talked about three phases to our journey:</div>
<ol>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Questioning - ask questions about the environment we are in such as 'what type of tree is that?' Collect a leaf to find out later...</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Research - At the end of our journey return to the classroom to find out the answers to our questions</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sharing - present our journeys in an imaginative way</div>
</li>

We then put up tarpaulin shelters using the knots we learnt earlier. We also had to consider: </div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
location e.g. take care not to trample on ground plants or erect them above brambles or nettles, which could cause injury. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
height e.g. if building a shelter with children it should be at their height</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
shelter i.e. will it shelter us from the weather?</div>
</li>
</ul>

We ended the session by reflecting on the journey strings we had created. Our task before next week is to find out about two of the items on our strings and to be prepared to share our findings with the rest of the group.</div>Woodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08426500331907148550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952409070647650582.post-4094895986547139722012-05-03T10:03:00.000-07:002012-05-04T06:24:57.111-07:00<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Session 2</strong></span><br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For each tool there is a tool talk procedure which follows the same pattern each time and so helps us to learn their safe use:</span></span></div>

Unfortunately the weather was unkind; it was rainy and very windy so we continued our activities indoors.<br />
<br />
Our main focus this week was 'creative sticks'. We used our developing skills to make picture frames. First we had to find four interesting sticks. In some cases we had to use the loppers to cut them to size. We then lashed the sticks together with string to create the frame. The knots we used were the clove hitch, which attached the string to the vertical stick. We learnt a new knot called 'square lashing' which was used to bind the sticks together at 90-degree angles to one another. It was important to tighten each turn as it was made to make the lashing as secure as possible. Frapping turns secured the lashing and tightened it further. <br />

We then decorated the frames with natural materials. "Picture frames help us focus on a distant view or on something near by... or to remind us of a special place." (Schofield and Danks, 2012, p.54).</div>

<br />
Another activity was to make a 'dream-catcher'. "Native Americans believed that webs of natural fibres trapped bad dreams, only allowing the good dreams past." (Schofield and Danks, 2012, p.63).<br />
<br />
We used stripped lengths of brambles which we bent and wove into a small circle. We then attached a long piece of thread to the circle and pulled it to the opposite side, winding it around a couple of times. We repeated the process several times to make a web. Again we attached natural materials to it and hung feathers etc from the bottom.<br />

We were very proud of our achievements. Some of us commented on how therapeutic the session had been!<br />

Our thoughts were based on learning outside, having the freedom to explore in real contexts. So we set about exploring! We collected natural materials to make woodland characters.</div>

Each week we will take part in activities including making things from natural objects, knot skills, den building, whittling, fire lighting and cooking.<br />
