This month St Chads Cub group invited the Chevin Forest School , Otley , to introduce the children to forest school ideas and create a sculpture from natural materials. The groups of sevens led by their adult leaders were excited to do bark rubbings with a head torch. They then used these as part of their design. All the groups worked as a team to create some amazing art. Well done to them all. They achieved part of their badge. Here are a few examples of their work.
Winter Fun at the February Forest school
Up in the Chevin woods , Otley we had fun hunting for real metal treasure. The chevin Forest School asked Neil , a ranger, at the white house questions about all the treasure he found using his metal detector. The children were fascinated with the , toys, bullets, buttons, coins and a miniature ship. One child made his own sign for his den. Riley made a fabulous owl.
