This week at Barnes we had our Stay and Play week which is such a lovely opportunity for parents to join their children for some forest fun! We all spent our mornings; playing, reading, climbing, building, singing and even dancing around. We could see the smiles on the faces of parents as they enjoyed their time immersed in nature too.

This week the children have shown a remarkable ability to review, reflect and persevere. They have used trial and error, teamwork and a wonderful imagination to create and make.

This week in the forest has been full of wonder. The children have explored their ever-changing environment engaging in a wide range of experiences that have inspired fascination, conversation and investigation at an incredibly deep level. 

This week in the forest the children have embarked on some wonderful new learning journeys. There have been scientific experiments, theatrical role-play and some incredible writing!
