Grade 7 Forest Project: A “Bus Stop” in the Middle of the Forest

Getting to know the forest habitat better—that was the focus of the Forest Days for the 7th-grade classes. Steffen Ullwer led the forest project with Class 7b and reports:

Class 7b’s Forest Day began with some warm-up exercises in front of the atrium in the rising sun. The students participated with full physical effort and great enthusiasm. Afterward, we set off from the Steinmühle to the Gisselberger Grillhütte, where we set up camp. There, the students were divided into small groups by lottery and tasked with building a small hut using the materials they found on site. Some groups took their cue from the remains of existing huts, while others started from scratch. The result was a wide variety of creative little shelters, ranging from a round structure with a carpet of moss to a covered bus stop.
