Parents and carers joined the class for two fun, hands-on creative activities using recycled and sustainable natural materials which the children have started to become familiar with as part of Forest School sessions.
Activity 1: Nature-Inspired Calendars
Everyone used recycled card along with dried seed heads, petals, ferns and silver birch twigs to design their own unique calendar artwork. The results were beautiful and wonderfully creative.
Activity 2: Seasonal Willow Wreaths
For the second activity, pupils and parents worked with willow withies, harvested from the school grounds, to make their very own Christmas wreath. Ivy, holly, dogwood and rosehips gathered from around the school grounds were added, along with teasels, honesty springs and larch cones. A mix of wool, ribbons, pipe cleaners and beads were used to attach the natural decorations and and personalise each wreath.
It was a lovely session full of creativity. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
