Year 3 and 4 pupils have recently enjoyed celebrating Samhain as part of their Forest School sessions. Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, or the ‘dark half’ of the year. Pupils were given the opportunity to toast a piece of apple over the fire, before dipping it in cinnamon and sugar to celebrate the harvest. We gathered around the warmth and light of a fire to keep out the dark and the cold and we filled the woods with happiness by playing games together!
