🌿📚 This is what Forest School at Salcey Forest - Forestry England is all about…

Moments like this from our half-term Holiday Club say it all.
A blanket beneath the trees, a book in hand, and the freedom to explore, imagine and learn in nature. 🍃
Here, stories come to life beyond the page...building confidence, sparking curiosity, and encouraging a real love of learning in the great outdoors. 🌳✨

Because at Forest School, it’s not just what children learn…
it’s how they feel while learning that truly matters.

☀️ And the adventure isn’t over yet…
Our Summer Holiday Club bookings are coming soon!
Keep your eyes peeled!!! We can’t wait to welcome more little explorers back into the woods.

Our little gardeners have been busy at Deanshanger🌱🍓

We’ve been carefully watering and looking after our strawberries in the garden, checking each day to see if they’re ready to be picked… and maybe even enjoyed at snack time!
There’s nothing quite like growing your own food and watching it develop. A lovely way to learn patience, care, and where our food comes from ❤️
