This morning, the Year 3s had their final Forest School session of the academic year. Following on from the previous session, they completed an array of practical activities which included:
bow sawing, chopping (using a hatchet), knot tying and sketching in nature.
The children were fearless, especially using the hatchet and some actually found it very natural to use. Some great skills inherited which they could use in the great outdoors!
Scarlett from 3F said, “I really liked the chopping with the hatchet!”
Xander from 3F said, “I loved the sawing with Mr Swarbrick!”
Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
