Salt painting on tree cookies and seed bombs 🦋🐝 Happy Earth Day! @Muddyfaces @Lea_Forest_HT @teach_outdoors @ElvyCurious @landartforkids @beeoutdoors9 @ForestSchoolFun

T’was great to welcome @ysubcharity out to us. The kids were amazing & got stuck in lighting fires, sawing, planting, hammering, creating, climbing and swinging around. So many laughs and happy faces 😊 @Muddyfaces @FsCuriosity @Lea_Forest_HT @teach_outdoors @ForestSchoolFun

It’s been a busy weekend of sawing - but so worth it to hear the kids squeals as they ran outside, ‘It’s a pirate ship!!’ The water system was popular, as they adjusted the tubes and guttering on the handmade frames to make the water flow @Muddyfaces @StreatleySch @FsCuriosity

Great excitement @BrizePrimary today, as we discovered a dinosaur nest🦖Lots of talk about how to help the dinosaurs hatch. We also made Hapazome 🦕 flags, tree cookies, skeletons and @Muddyfaces clay dinosaur footprints @StreatleySch @ElvyCurious @landartforkids @FloraSCooper

🐾 We are collaborating with @florisbooks this month and we are giving away a copy of the beautifully illustrated Gerda Muller book 'Whose Footprints Are These?' For a chance to win like and re-tweet. Closing date - MN 10th Dec. Winners will be DM on 11th Dec

We have been loving the #Christmas theme at #forestschool Every year, we get new ideas where the children can explore using new tools and express their creativity using nature. Love it!💚🎄@Muddyfaces @StreatleySch @Lea_Forest_HT @ElvyCurious @ForestSchoolFun

We have been back in school this week and loving it! We had a go at leaf silhouettes using blackberry ink, Hapazome and fox tree cookies with bark leaves 😊💚 @Muddyfaces @StreatleySch @FsCuriosity @ElvyCurious @Lea_Forest_HT @ForestSchoolFun

Good luck to the Lionesses today #WorldCupFinal #makinghistory @ForestSchoolFun

Buttercup Hapazome, pinecone bees, honey cake - just some of our 🐝 themed activities…Did you know that bees have 5 eyes? This was just one of the facts we talked about yesterday alongside the lifecycle of a bee and pollination. @Muddyfaces @Lea_Forest_HT @ForestSchoolFun

The theme of the day was, The Coronation; the kids got stuck in creating our natural Hapazome bunting & our joint commemorative plaque. Those that wanted to, sawed and decorated tree cookies…others went bug hunting, hung out in the hammocks and made mud cakes fit for a King!

A super busy (but super lovely) day out in the woods using tools to make some cracking stuff for Easter!! Also plenty of time to swing and chill in our hammocks😊💚 @Muddyfaces @lilmuddyboots @OutdoorFamMag @OxOutdoors @R2gBanbury @forestimaginatn @ForestSchoolFun

Well, the rain did not dampen our spirits today @BrizePrimary Candles, paracord bracelets, rock painting and chicks were a hit…and our campfire hot cross bun bread and butter pudding got the 👍🏼👍🏼@StreatleySch @ElvyCurious @teach_outdoors @Muddyfaces @ForestSchoolFun

We’ve been trying out some natural dyes at #Forestschool. So far we’ve boiled onion skins and beetroot - but are going to be stoking up the fire for spinach, turmeric and red cabbage. Can’t wait to see the results at our Easter clubs @Muddyfaces @forestimaginatn @ForestSchoolFun

Some #creativelearning this week @BrizePrimary #birds Wire birds required some #Perseverance @ElvyCurious @Muddyfaces @FsCuriosity @Lea_Forest_HT @StreatleySch @LilyZunic @forestschoolkid @ForestSchoolFun

Another fabulous opportunity for kids #TimDunlopMemorialGraduate today. Lots of training and skills learned. #chasingdreams #noponynoproblem #Bourtonvale @cocklebarrow @ponyracinggb @BRSNewmarket @PtPPonyracing

We had lots of fun @BrizePrimary this week; using chopsticks to pick up pebbles, painting Chinese numbers, using stencils and retelling ‘The Great Race’ around the campfire. Lots of chatter, new skills learned, knowledge fun shared @Muddyfaces @ElvyCurious @ForestSchoolFun

#biggardenbirdwatch with a spot of raspberry tie dye thrown in…oh, and s’mores just for good measure - so that the kids have something warm in their tummy’s and leave forest school @BrizePrimary with a big smile on their face 😊@RSPB_Learning @Muddyfaces @ForestSchoolFun

It’s amazing what you can do with some mud and a stick! #learningoutdoorsisfun 🦖🦕@Muddyfaces @JayJayBurridge @Lea_Forest_HT @StreatleySch @PrOutdoorEdn @Outdoorwildkids @ElvyCurious @ForestSchoolFun

What a lovely (albeit busy) afternoon at our first party of 2023! With all the rain recently, we now have a fab (and inviting!) pool of water that the children enjoyed splashing and floating their boats in😊@Muddyfaces @StreatleySch @FsCuriosity @CultureCotswold @ForestSchoolFun
