Stories by the Fire

The last few days before the Christmas break. Forest School celebrated with campfires and marshmallows and hot chocolate, and as the afternoons began to look more like evening, as dusk made the school day dull early, we decided the rest of the children need not miss out.




Every class had the opportunity to come outside to basecamp and to sit by the campfire and listen to a story.
For some this may have been the latest chapter in the novel the class is hooked on, for others it may be a book randomly chosen by one of the pupils, for many it was a picturebook with an Autumnal theme.




No one is ever too old for a picture book, they differentiate themselves, and every child vies to see the illustrations. The children watched the flames, put up with the smoke, and listened to the tales they were told.


A great way to end the year
