P2/3 and P4 Forest School

Today was all about fire safety and sampling some campfire popcorn. The fire helped keep us all warm and gave the pupils plenty to wonder about: what makes the smoke, why are flames different colours?
P2/3 and P4 helped carry all the equipment out and also helped extinguish the fire.
 P4 has been learning about the different trees we have growing in our grounds and today they learned about the Silver Birch and the special properties of its bark.

Hot chocolate time!
