Year 1 Forest School – Zara’s Reindeer
Mrs Wilton was so blown away by the impact of a child led holistic approach to Forest School, that she just had to share it with us!
Zara was inspired by Chloe’s wonderful reindeer creation that she wanted to make a ‘real’ reindeer.
Zara started with an idea, came up with a plan that her and Mrs Wilton tried together, this failed so they problem solved, and tried again & again. The learning that Zara achieved was amazing and not least with the hand tools – Designing, building, evaluating, perseverance, adaptability, math’s, communication and so much more.
Mrs Wilton even learnt something also – to have larger drill bits in the tool box!
The end result, as you can see, is fantastic & Zara should be very proud of herself.
