Forest School Tuesday Group -
We returned to the trees we’ve been growing with all year—journals open, eyes soft, noticing changes. Students sketched, wondered, and wrote what their trees reminded them of before gathering to share each unique story. After wandering freely, we wove ourselves back together, learning the Infinity and constrictor knots and, strand by strand, finished creating our own rope bridge! 🌿

We had such a magical day! We began by exploring a bush full of winding “tunnel” paths, where students discovered a special “wishing tree.” Whenever they found a shimmering leaf, they added it to the branches, and together we held hands around the tree to make wishes.

Next, we raced through a nature scavenger hunt, collecting different leaves to practice identification. We read about the “wood wide web” and how trees communicate underground, learned how to identify trees with their bark and made bark rubbings, then settled into quiet sit spots with our journals to observe, reflect, draw, and share what we noticed.

Tuesday Forest School:
Full of magic and adventure!

We were lucky enough to spot a young buck wandering quietly through the trees - such a special moment for the students and a beautiful reminder of how alive the forest is this time of year.

We practiced knot-tying and worked together to begin building a rope bridge, learning teamwork, patience, and a whole lot of problem-solving along the way.

We had a peaceful sit spot time, where everyone settled into nature, listened closely, and later came back together to share what they noticed, heard, and felt.

Another beautiful day of learning, connecting, and growing in the forest. 🌿💚

This week at Forest School ~
Our Forest has been alive with curiosity, laughter, and muddy boots. The children have been connecting deeply with the land - watching insects in their habitats, learning the secret life of trees and the wood wide web, and journaling their observations, wonders, and stories about their chosen tree for the year.

Our Tuesday group made bow and arrows during free play, brewed cedar tea, and learned about seed saving - the importance of giving back to the earth by planting native seeds. Together we shaped seed bombs to spread life, built shelters and mazes (each group), and found joy in the rhythm of rain and the warmth of friendship.

Through play, storytelling, and hands-on discovery, the children are learning what it means to live in balance with the world around them.

✨ This is what childhood is meant to be - muddy hands, bright eyes, and open hearts.
When children learn from the earth, they grow not only food and forests - but also empathy, resilience, and wonder.
And that is exactly what our world needs. 🌍💚

Play is a very important part of Forest School and very important in a child's life in general.
So much learning takes place during play and connections are often made quicker.

We wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. 💚
We are grateful for so many things;
The beauty in the world - which is oh so much
The land, the water, and every creature.
We are grateful to walk this path with our students and families who mean the world to us.

We are so grateful to learn with the land and the animals and for every teaching we encounter.

We hope everyone has had a beautiful long weekend. 🍂

Thank you,

Forest School Wednesdays!
Students had tons of fun exploring new areas!
We went on a tree identification walk, learning different ways to I.D. trees.
Afterwards, students found hills and trees to climb.
We then had some craft time making animals/objects using clay, twigs, leaves, pinecones and more before heading off again to watch the salmon run! 🌿

Forest School; Tuesday group:
Today was a great day! We thought it would rain all day, however, it didn't rain at all!
We had lots of fun with pre planned board games, whittling projects, and building a rope ladder! Super grateful to spend days with this group! 💚
(There were also tons more adventures in between)☺️

🍂✨ What an amazing week back at Forest School! ✨🍂

Monday: Our adventures included balancing on the slackline, jumping into crunchy leaf piles, tree climbing, and spotting caterpillars! 🐛 We also began exploring the 7 Grandfather Teachings, and students chose to start with the teaching of Truth (Turtle)🐢

Tuesday: We opened with a gratitude circle and deep reflections on Truth and Reconciliation. Students shared what it means to them and how we can implement the calls to action. We read Whispers of the Earth by Launa Purcell and reflected on our relationship with the land and it's teachings. Then as a group chose a tree to observe, asking: What do you notice? What do you wonder? What does it remind you of? Free play was alive with imagination: building shelters, tending “fires,” and “fishing” with sticks.

Wednesday: Our Wednesday group also started with gratitude and reflections on our relationship with the land. Together, they picked a special tree to observe with the same prompts, sparking lots of curiosity. The rest of the day was full of joyful play, slackline balancing, building, running a “store” with wood cookies as money, and celebrating a birthday!

🌳 Next week, each child will choose their very own tree to follow through the seasons, building a year-long relationship with the land.

Forest School is where learning feels like adventure, and play becomes a pathway to connection, gratitude, and growth. 🌟
