Year 4- Forest School-Bug Hunt

Lesson: Learning Outside the Classroom

Class: Year 4 Year: 2025 - 2026

It was rather rainy for our session but we didn't mind. We found snails, ladybirds, slugs and worms. We realised that different creatures prefer different habitats, the ladybirds were all found in some long, thin leaves and the snails were all huddled together in a compost bin.

There was also some great child-initiated learning which included a cafe and an outdoor gym.

Some of us made forest eyes with wool and lolly sticks which develops our fine motor skills and it's also a very mindful activity.
