Rainsticks
Well, today was definitely a day for wearing our waterproofs. We had rain showers on and off all day today. The sun made appareances too.
Year 1 enjoyed being under our shelters when it was pouring with rain. They hadn't experienced the rain on a forest school session yet - so it was definitely a new experience for them.
We stuck to the theme of rain with making rain sticks! It was a big coincidence that this is what I had planned.
We used empty toilet rolls, nails, rice and some tape. They probably sound more like shakers, but you'll get the idea. We had fun anyway and that's the main thing:)
While we were enjoying a lovely cup of hot chocolate we played Chinese Whispers. It was quite funny as most of the children had said had they never played it before, so it was another new experience for them. There were lots of laughs and giggles:)
