This week the children have all enjoyed their first woodwork sessions. First, they explored the safety aspects of woodwork including the importance of safety goggles and safe use of tools. They used a variety of different size and thickness of balsa wood, different sized nails and a variety of mixed media such as bottle tops, corks and beads for their creations. They also learned how to use a Japanese saw safely with an adult. The children had lots of fun exploring and we were very impressed with their creations.
On Tuesday, we visited Cassiobury Park. We travelled, by tube, from Croxley Green to Watford and then walked to the park. We were so proud of our children as they understood the need to be sensible and safe near roads and trains. Once we arrived at the park, we visited the canal where we learnt about the history of canals followed by some time exercising in the play park before eating our picnic lunch. We all had a fun day in the sunshine!
