"I built the pirate ship for my History homework and designed it from the Lego Titanic model. It can be divided into 3 sections. It took me 2 hours to build the ship and 1 hour to do the rigging. I really enjoyed building it!" Ben in Year 7 shared⚓️ pic.twitter.com/KO4KoRMYwW— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) July 3, 2025

They left with smiles on their faces after a brilliant day with us here at Forest!😁🏫 pic.twitter.com/iMY0C2NyAR— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) July 2, 2025
