Making Boggarts

We began our Forest School session this week by saying hello to Flopsy the rabbit and the chickens ...






Then we we told about the .... Boggarts! We went into the Enchanted Forest and found some sticks and used the clay to help us make our very own Boggart ...

















Tree Den

As the boys settled into play in character as the Power Rangers it was the perfect opportunity to channel this into a team work task. I asked the Power Rangers where their base was and they had not chosen one. I used this to create a challenge - let's make one!

They gathered together all of the material and pegs that they needed and decided that the tree was going to become the den. They worked together to create their perfect tree den but it was not an easy task and they kept stumbling on problems (the wind, material that was not long enough etc). The problem solving, creativity and engagement was amazing to observe. 

Have a look at some of the photos ...
