Each week we take the opportunity to get the children outside to enjoy the beautiful surroundings that we have in, and around Greystoke School.
Every Wednesday, we visit our 'Welly Wednesday Camp' deep in the forest surrounding Greystoke Castle. It is an amazing opportunity for all of our children to develop a sense of nature and wellbeing.
We aim to provide an opportunity for individuals;
to develop, to learn and to enjoy themselves
to provide a safe and non-threatening environment in which children can take risks, make choices and initiate their own learning
to help children understand, appreciate and care for the natural environment.

This week, we have delved into the enchanting story of 'The Colour Monster' by Anna Llenas, exploring the intriguing world of emotions and how they can sometimes become mixed up. Our discussions have sparked fascinating conversations, allowing the children to express their own feelings and experiences.
Today was particularly exciting as we transformed our learning into a delicious activity—making mixed-up Colour Monster toast! The children were captivated as they listened attentively to a demonstration on how to safely light a fire. Many bravely seized the opportunity to try using the fire steels, showcasing their growing confidence and understanding.
In addition to this, the children freely shared their own experiences with fire, emphasising the critical importance of safety and the need to never light fires without supervision. The colourful toast looked fantastic, and it was a joy to see the children relishing it during their afternoon snack. What a delightful and educational week it has been!
