We are proud to introduce our Bomere Heath Stars of the Week!
RSPB bird watch
During forest school this week we tried to see as many different birds as we could. We were very lucky to see a red kite and a buzzard looking for prey and other more common birds. The children will be bringing home a sheet to see if they can identify birds in their garden.

Tips for Encouraging Open Discussions about Digital Lives
A free online safety guide on Digital Lives.
Most parents frequently chat with their child about how things are going at school or what’s happening in their friendship groups – but those discussions often doesn’t extend to youngsters’ online activities. In fact, National Online Safety conducted a recent survey which found that only slightly more than half (54%) of parents regularly talk to their children about staying safe online.
It can be an awkward topic to broach and, of course, it needs not to feel intrusive. However, just checking in with your child about their digital life can get them thinking about online safety and alert you to any issues they might be having.
In support of Safer Internet Day 2023, the #WakeUpWednesday guide has some useful tips on potential ways to start those conversations.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Friedensreich Hundertwasser believed houses should be beautiful and like nature have no straight lines.
We have looked a photographs of his houses in Vienna and have begun to create our own. We drew wavy lines, circular, square and arched windows and added lots of detail. Next week we will add some colour just as Hundertwasser did.

Seasonal change
As part of our work on seasons we will be following what happens to a tree in forest school. To do this we made a wooden marker disc to mark our tree. Kris helped us saw the disc. Mrs Foster helped us drill a hole and other adults helped us tie string through and write our initials on it. We then went to find a tree to hang it on. The tricky part will be remembering where our tree is !
We will be looking at how the tree changes throughout the year.
Signs of winter
This week in forest school we were looking for signs of winter. Luckily the weather allowed us to find lots. We loved seeing the snow drops and finding sheets of ice.
