Wild at Heart Learning

A place where learners have the time and space to explore safely and grow in our woodland 💚

Wild at Heart learning is a brand new Forest School in the countryside of rural Meopham. A place where learners have the time and space to explore safely and grow in so many ways in our nurturing, natural setting. There are no prescriptive lesson plans or assessments with specific outcomes and targets for all to meet. Every session is designed to enable each individual’s self-exploration and devel

It’s so important that us ‘hoomans’ look after the nature around us just like we always leave the woodland as if we were never there. Taking home our rubbish & disposing of it correctly is so important.

The woodland is home to many foxes, sometimes we catch a glimpse of one and once, we had a cheeky fox pinch some of our hog dog buns! But they are surviving and the woods is their home, we are just visitors.

The Fox Project is an amazing charity looking out for these beautiful creatures, treating over a 1000 foxes each year assisting, rehabilitating and treating the beautiful red fox. Such a wonderful charity!

Literally all the planets have lined up… if you go outside (I’m hoping for clear skies here!) you’ll see at least 4 (5 if you count the one your standing on 🌍) happy planet gazing ❤️

If you have clear skies pop outside now and you can spot 4 planets at once with the naked eye (Venus, Saturn, Jupiter & Mars), also Uranus & Neptune with good binos or a telescope 🔭

My binos could manage 4 of Jupiter’s moons too. Let me know how you get on!

The team were busy today in the Forest School café, first it was hot chocolate with marshmallows and then preparing and making our fave soup, carrot & lentil. This soup is a camp firm favourite and went down very well, not only warming cockles but filling happy tummies! There was even a little bit left for seconds 😋 It was definitely a team effort today, good job everyone!

Forest School Holiday Clubbers.

Session running tomorrow is going to be a chilly one! Please make sure your children are dressed for the weather, lots of thin layers, hats etc. And, if they have waterproof clothing please pop it on them as it’s likely to be soggy in the woods after today’s rain. Waterproofs also act as a wind cheater & keep the heat in.

A warm & snug child is a happy one!

See you all tomorrow 💚
