Staff spent the day doing Level 1 Forest School training with Brian Poots from Northern Ireland Forest School Association. We built dens, camouflaged worms and hid them from the birds, whittled some elder to make bug houses and learnt how to light a fire safely with a class using the kelly kettle. Thanks to Brian, staff members are very enthused and some are now working towards achieving their Level 3 Forest School Leader qualification. Thank you Brian!
