Lovely day with Little Horsted Primary school

What a wonderful day we had at Forest school 🌲✨
Even in the colder, wetter weather, the children thrived outdoors — exploring the woods, crafting with natural materials, feeding the birds, and building friendships. Research shows that time spent outside in varied weather helps strengthen children’s resilience, boosts their immune systems, supports emotional regulation, and encourages problem-solving through real-world challenges. Today we saw all of that in action.

It was a joy to watch their confidence grow as they embraced the elements and discovered just how capable they are. A perfect way to end our sessions before the winter break.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in January 2026 for more muddy, meaningful adventures! 💚❄️🌧️

Wonderful day today thinking about hedgehogs and hibernating- playing hide and seek in the woods and making art with some magpie ink caps !

🍄✨ with our home ed friends, we wandered looking for mushrooms hiding under leaves and playing our own hiding games too. There was laughter in the woods, soft earth beneath our feet, and the whisper that Samhain is near. 🍂🕯️

This season invites us to slow down, to turn inward, and to rest — just as nature does. Grateful for community Wilderness Wood, connection, and the magic of this turning time. 🌙🌾

🍁✨ There’s something magical about watching the world change colour through a child’s eyes. The trees are turning gold, the sky is painting stories in clouds, and little hands are busy collecting fallen treasures. 🌤️🍂

How lucky we are — to pause, breathe in the crisp autumn air, and simply be outside together. These moments of wonder, laughter, and muddy boots are the true luxuries of life. 💛🌿

🌳🦉 Forest School Adventures! 🍄🌿

Today our Year 2 and Year 6 classes headed out into the woods full of discovery, muddy hands, and curious minds!

Year 2 had a wild time learning about the animals who visit our woods at night — all through the clues they leave behind (yes… poo! 💩😄). We read The Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business and then got creative making our very own “animal poo splats” with soil and grass!

Meanwhile, Year 6 explored deeper into the forest, investigating the amazing world of fungi. 🍄 They found honey fungus and made beautiful spore prints, admired the incredible artist’s bracket (which can even be drawn on!), and discovered Alfred’s cakes — perfect for fire lighting! 🔥

It was a wonderful day of outdoor learning — connecting with nature, exploring our native plants and fungi, and of course, having lots of fun! 🌿✨
