This weeks Forest School session involved making necklaces, magic wands and potions in the mud! We had lots of fun swinging on the rope and in the hammock.
To make our necklaces, we had to hollow out elder wood. Elder wood has a soft pith inside it which can be poked out using a stick! This makes them into beads which we could then thread onto the string. We also used the drill again to drill holes in conkers, which we added onto our necklace.
To make the magic wands, we wrapped sellotape around a stick to make it ‘sticky’ and then found lots of lovely natural materials to stick on them! Following the magic wand theme, we then decided to make potions in the mud! We got really muddy and had a little jump in it, obviously 😂
