After a super start to the year last week, it was Year 5's first Forest School session this afternoon. Our focus this half term is den/shelter building. This links in with our English and History work on The World at War. Children were given a very basic brief for their first attempt- their structure needed a stable roof to provide cover for the whole group. Armed with planks, tarpaulins, tyres, crates and long branches children got to building! They showed great ingenuity , team work and communication as well as fantastic problem-solving skills. In the coming weeks, in class, children will learn more about different wartime shelters and why they were so important during World War 2 and their shelter briefs will include more complex criteria as the topic goes on too. An excellent first session Year 5! ### Year 5's First Forest School 7.9.26 [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5131.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5131.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5132.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5132.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5133.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5133.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5136.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5136.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5137.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5137.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5138.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5138.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5139.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5139.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5140.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5140.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5141.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5141.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5142.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5142.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5143.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5143.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5144.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5144.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5145.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5145.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5146.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5146.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5147.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/gallery/year-5-s-first-forest-school-7-9-26/IMG_5147.JPG) [Forest School](https://trawden.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/forest-school) [Class of 2028](https://trawden.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/class-of-2028) [ Year 4 Investigate the Loch Ness Monster!](https://trawden.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-09-03-year-4-investigate-the-loch-ness-monster) [Democracy in Year 3!
