The children had a lovely time exploring Forest School for the first time this term! 🌿🌳

They explored the space finding lots of interesting things including a lavender plant, some friendly insects, and lots of different sized logs. 🪻🐜🪵

On the way back, we took the time to compare some trees and we hope to watch and note the changes that might happen to the trees and their leaves over the next month! 🌲🍂

The children have settled in beautifully to their brand new setting and are working really hard to learn the daily routines. We are very proud of them. 😊
