Monday 30th July 2018

Warwick University’s Summer Scheme has hit its second week and it HAS been a hit!

Monday opened with the usual welcome routine (no, Health & Safety isn’t the most exciting subject but yes, it has to be done) and breakfast.

For a gentle warm-up, we went outside to collect props for our nature picture. Some children even made their pictures into 3D artworks.

The highlight of the day for the overwhelming majority, however, was Forest School with Jo. She explained us all about how to take care of wild nature, respect the animals’ natural habitat and make the most of the resources found in woodland. Mud pies and camp fire made an appearance, the latter for a specific purpose: toasting marshmallows!

Even if not everyone fancied eating a marshmallow, everyone heard about fires loving cotton wool and vaseline, small sticks and oxygen. And the children really enjoyed witling sticks and making tents.

In between the fruit snacks, lunch hour and all of the above, we also enjoyed making wands for giant bubbles, as well as free play. We’ve had a full day and can’t wait until an arty day tomorrow.
