Out on Wandsworth Common, our Redwoods children at Mousehouse Kindergarten paused beneath the trees and looked closely… what could those tiny threads be? 👀
Caterpillars, gently dangling on their own silks, invited us into a moment of true Forest School learning. We reached, pointed, wondered… How are they hanging there? Why do they spin silk? Where might they be going next?
This beautiful finding opened up conversations about life cycles, movement, patience and care for living things. We practised looking slowly, keeping our bodies calm, and respecting these tiny forest friends as we shared the space together 💚
These Fantastic Forest School moments remind us that learning lives in curiosity, in questions, and in the magic of noticing the small things. What will we discover next? 🌱
