Today some of our KS2 students got the opportunity to participate in a Kwik Cricket Event organised by Redborne Upper School. The children had a fantastic time, did really well in the competition and they all enjoyed learning new skills!
Over the past few weeks Christine has been working extremely hard creating a wonderful space for our new Pre-school Library. It is going to be a new space for the children to go and change their books as well as having some phonics sessions with our older children during the summer months.
Doves have been learning to use tools like potato peelers for whittling, saws for creating things out of wood and loppers for cutting firewood. It’s been very wet and we have had some massive puddles to play in which they have absolutely loved. We have progressed with fire lighting skills and a couple of children are able to light cotton wool to make a small fire.
Today some of our KS1 students got the opportunity to participate in a Tag Rugby Skills Event organised by Redborne Upper School. The children had a fantastic time and enjoyed learning new skills!
Doves Class have been learning to use tools, make fires, build dens and help wildlife. They learned about hibernation, bird identification and had a wonderful day playing in the puddles after the heavy rain and were lucky enough to see a rainbow.
Owls Class have had a couple of challenging sessions this term where they had to move indoors as the strong winds meant they couldn’t use the Forest School site. But they made the most of it and they learned how to use knives to whittle. They sang to the trees to help them grow, they celebrated Chinese New Year with crafts and learned to say Happy New Year in Chinese. They practiced tree climbing, using tools, building dens and making fires.
We are excited to announce that we’ve launched our Facebook page!
A massive well done to our winner for completing the Virtual Race to Lapland! 
Eagles have had their last session for their time at Houghton Conquest Lower School, sadly. They have learned to tie knots, use knives, light fires and build dens and generally just enjoyed being out in the wild. They cooked and made hot drinks and really worked well as a team. They are very imaginative and love to make up their own games and role play.
