🚨Just a reminder there is no Forest School in The Playtrail this week. We look forward to see u all next Tuesday 28th July.🚨

Here are some wee photos from the past few weeks. 🌾🌿🍄🪹🍃🍂
It is so lovely to see families and extended families working and chatting together during the activities and feeling a sense of self in themselves and togetherness with each other.
These sessions are invaluable.
Whole hearted thanks again goes to RAISE for funding this and

Ciara you are the forest queen. 🌴👑

We are so blessed to have been given the opportunity for families to take part in forest sessions at The Playtrail through the RAISE funding.
Thanks to Rachael and Ciara for organising and to Ciara for facilitating.
There is so much room here for parents/carers and their children to co regulate in a natural environment, calming their nervous systems and to just be.... ✨✨✨✨
When we just be, we find our joy.
The way forward is working with parents/carers and children together. Research shows this is more beneficial for the whole family.
👬👫👭🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🧔👱🧝🧓
This is where the magic happens.
We have had lots of thank you messages from families, saying how grateful they are to have got a space and how they are enjoying the forest school.
