🍄✨ 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! 🌿✨

Spent a lovely Saturday harvesting apples with friends, then pressing them into the sweetest, freshest juice 🍎✨ Such a simple joy to work together, share stories, and sip the results! Can’t wait to bring some along for my forest school groups this week – nothing better than sharing the taste of autumn straight from the orchard. 🌳🍂

🔥✨ Today at Forest School has been full of adventure and creativity!

Our Year 2s learned how to spark a flame using flint and steel, while Year 6 rose to the challenge of creating fire the traditional way – fire by friction. Both groups showed such determination and teamwork, and of course, we all enjoyed a well-deserved campfire snack together afterwards. 🍪🔥

In the spirit of the autumn equinox, we also turned our hands to a new craft – wet felting. Everyone worked carefully with colourful wool to create beautiful felted suns, a perfect way to welcome the changing season. ☀🍂

We are so proud of the skills, resilience, and creativity the children are building each week – all while connecting with nature. 🌿💚
