Couple of snapshots of our pupils on Wednesday. Activities ranged from a Joe Wicks workout to wake us up, baking and researching recipes, to having a mario kart competition! An enjoyable day for pupils and staff #schoolactivities #socialdistancingatschool #elemorehallschool

One of the activities on offer today for our pupils - SLIME! It was a hit and proved to keep us all entertained - stress relief for everyone involved 👍🏼 and the mess was kept to a minimum #lockdownactivities #schoolactivities #slime

Our pupils were enjoying the most of the weather today - flower collecting and arranging, picnic bbq lunch, and all while social distancing #bbqweather #socialdistancing #socialdistancinginschool

While our school’s open to a small no. of children, we’re finding a range of activities to keep their days varied - today we foraged, cut, and arranged flowers from woodland grounds to help brighten up school for others 💐🌼 #outdoored #foraging #flowercutting #brightenupschool

Perfect conditions for #forestschool today with more of our yr 8 pupils - they collected and cut wood, got a campfire going, and even started whittling - our first attempt at foxes! Great efforts all round #whittling #foxes #outdoored @ForestSchoolUK

And we rounded out each session with staff foraging for natural resources and making clay faces around the woods 👀 you can tell who’s good at art! #clayfaces #facesinthetrees #forestschools #outdoored

We also had staff putting their trust in each other for our Birdbox Challenge around their own guide line courses #birdboxchallenge #forestschool #outdoored #teambuilding

Staff training day looked a little different today - everyone got to experience a Forest School session. Here are just a few of our staff stick tower efforts 🌴🏗 #forestschool #outdoored #staffteambuilding

Pupils from Elemore Hall went to a knife crime awareness session in Gateshead today. Extremely thought provoking and emotional. #educate #support #inspire #engage

Back out in the woods with some of our more camera-shy pupils 📸 today’s lesson - cooking on a campfire! We had bacon butties, as well as choc cake cooked in oranges! Delicious! #forestschool #outdoored #campfirecooking
