A small but MIGHTY Friday morning session today … exploring the world as a bird and making lots of worm cities 😊.  With a spot of tree bathing thrown in – a perfect morning.

SOO today was about birds n bugs.  IT’s pretty hard to imagine being a bird for tots BUT our stick and worm collecting game provided opportunities to be active, to practice observational skills, teamwork, some counting and connection with nature – particularly our scramble through the ‘Fairy Door’.

Sensory play was provided through spaghetti worms and mud with fine motor skills in using giant tweezers, flying our parachute to give a sense of Nature’s power and wearing wings to be birds.  Lovely role play too with the woodland animals who also made their way into the giant birds nest.

Finishing off with a chance to try the fire steal, have our happy/ sad face coming together and plan for next Thursday.

THERE is space on the Friday morning Forest School block & Fathers Day session this Sunday – book on to have some fun!

Please message me with any queries.

SUCH a fun session – all the children were AMAZING – am still giggling about the water pistol fight!

WE walked round the site and looked at the trees, naming a few, jumping over ditches & climbing over branches, we played a water pistol tracking game (welcome in this heat!) which, naturally degenerated into a free for all!  There was some potions mixing & exploring with colour making some volcanoes, some den building & tool use, some bubble action and making willow wands.

AFTER snack we collected leaves and looked at symmetry through printing and this then extended to dying the cloth with the remaining food colouring – an awesome idea!

SO excited for the children to see the site next week … areas of scrub have been cleared making room for some open spaces AND some sneaky hiding places!

Such a lovely day …. potions & hapa zome this morning AND Woodland Rhymetime this afternoon.

The NEXT Woodland Rhymetime sessions are in the calendar – please scroll down AND the Friday morning session will run every week, until notified otherwise.  There is space on BOTH of these sessions.   Please message me for more information. Thank you. 🍃🌿🍃

THIS was the BEFORE picture!

A lovely sunny potions/ coloured water session – the possibilities are laid out but the end result is unique to each child.  A brilliant chalk game developed – making firework pictures & stacking mallets.

PLUS a surprise visit by the landowners (Sustrans) to say that the new sign will be in place very SOON!  Exciting times are ahead ….

Come and have some magical musical FUN in the SUN with Katie – a local musician.  This is a beautiful session hosted by Nature Noodles and led by Katie with some singing, dancing and craft – exploring sound, rhythm and rhyme in the world around us.

Friday June 8th, 1.30-2.15pm. £3.50 per child + £1.50 per sibling.
