We have learnt a new forest school chant at forest school, that we sing together at the woods...

Everywhere we go  ( children repeat sing)

People always ask us  ( repeat )

Who we are ...

And where we come from ...

So we tell them ...

We're from forest school ...

Mighty, mighty forest school ....

And if they don't hear us ...

We sing a little louder ... ( repeat sing)

We chant this song and each time we finish one verse, we sing the next verse even  louder !!!

It's lots of fun 

 

 

Year one collected natural resources in the woods and designed their own giants!
