🌿🎃 Nature Clubs are back! 🎃🌿
Tomorrow & Tuesday at 3.30pm, we’re heading back outside for our after-school hrs Nature Clubs! 🍂
I’ve been looking back at these pumpkins that the children planted way back in April… tiny little seeds that we watered, cared for and watched grow. 🌱
And look at them now! 😍🎃
I can’t wait to show the children how much they’ve grown since they last saw them.

This is the magic of Forest School — giving children the time and space to notice, explore, wonder and learn from the natural world around them. 🌿
From a tiny seed to a pumpkin… nature is always teaching us something. 💚
See you in the woods! 🍁✨

📝Some spaces are available across groups.
