🌿 What We’ve Been Up To at Forest School! 🌿
Me, Myself & Nature – What a Fantastic First Session Back!
What a wonderful first Forest School session back after the summer holidays! 🌳
The woodland was full of laughter, excitement, creativity and lots of happy faces as we welcomed back our returning children and met our new Forest School explorers.
There was plenty going on, with children choosing what caught their attention and moving between activities throughout the session.
🦍 Find Groot had children exploring and searching through the woodland, while our Me & Nature Trail encouraged everyone to look closely at the world around them.
🪵 We made “Me Sticks”, name tags and wood-slice coasters, creating some lovely woodland treasures to take home.
🔨The children had the chance to use hammers to create initials or shapes. With wood slices, nails and wool.
🐞 We went mini-beast hunting, made leaf masks and experimented with mirrors and reflections.
🧪Superhero Potion Lab is always very popular, creating, exploring, mixing and stiring their strength potion or visibility concoction.
🦊🐰 And because the children asked for it, we couldn't say no to a game of Fox and Rabbit! There was plenty of running, chasing, laughter and excitement as the children enjoyed a favourite Forest School game.
🌱 Child-led, creative & full of fun
It was fantastic to see the children making their own choices, following their interests, working together and coming up with their own ideas. Some children happily joined activities with friends, others created independently, and many moved between different adventures as their curiosity took them.
The best part? The children were having FUN! And there was certainly no shortage of laughter in the woods! 💚
We’re already looking forward to seeing what adventures next week brings...
Until then — keep exploring! 🌿🍂
