Home-made charcoal!

We couldn’t believe how easy it was to make charcoal! We were keen to get drawing with it the next day!

Toni and Hels from Branching Out visited us again, this time we were lighting fires. All children showed great perseverance in trying to get the fires started. Despite it being June we all appreciated the warmth from the fires and even more than that, we loved the toasted marshmallows! We also made our own charcoal which we are excited to create some art work with!

Wind Chimes Using Recycled Objects

The children have used unwanted metal objects to create their amazing wind chimes.

They investigated the sound that different instruments make. Then thoughtfully arranged the recycled objects so that they would knock against each other and make relaxing and enjoyable sounds.

Forest School with Branching Out

Today our class has been lucky enough to work with Toni and Hels in a Forest School session.

We used a pruning saw a to cut a branch of a hazel tree to create a rope ladder. Others created dens whilst waiting. Lots of skills were developed, including resilience, team-work, communication and empathy.

Local artist

We have been lucky enough to be visited by a local artist. We had studied the art work of Stuart Roper and were put in contact with him through the art gallery in Knighton.

He came in to talk us through the process of using acrylic paints to create landscape scenes on canvas. We were all fascinated by his approach and are excited to try this medium and process ourselves. So many questions were asked.
