Ilminster Academy Summer Forest School

Hello Families,

We’ve had an exciting and productive summer in Forest School!

Our Year 6 children took part in a fantastic two-day workshop, where they built a brand-new fire pit, constructed a boundary fence, and created a bug hotel. They also learned how to safely use fire strikers and explored the important safety aspects of making fire. To celebrate all their hard work, we enjoyed delicious pizza wraps and toasted marshmallows around the fire!

Meanwhile, children attending our intervention sessions have been learning about tool safety and maintenance. They’ve also been busy designing and building weatherproof shelters—great teamwork and problem-solving all around!

If you have any donations for Forest School, we would be very grateful. Please feel free to email me, and I’ll happily arrange a time to collect them.

Thank you for your continued support!
