Measure Twice, Saw Once!
Hi, I'm Dominic, and I have been asked to write a blog post all about my Forest School lessons here at Homefield.
I have been learning how to use different equipment.
I have used a saw to chop wood and I had to wear eye protection to stop pieces of wood going in my eyes. I also had to wear gloves, because otherwise pieces of wood can get in-between your finger nails.
The other piece of equipment I’ve used is a rake. I was using the rake to clear the leaves up in the autumn.
I love going around to different places and seeing the different woodlands and forestry. I have really enjoyed seeing the different trees and woods.
These are the different skills I’ve been learning:
- Weeding
- Wood sawing
- Raking
- Chopping
- Burning
We’ve also been learning how to have bonfires and learning how to set them up.
The best bit about forest school is being outside all day in the woods.
