🌿🌿ANOTHER sunny Nature Noodles still exploring with our moths & butterflies 🦋, looking at wild grasses in the meadow, doing some collecting, exploring & JUST playing in the wood 🌲🌳🌲 …. some of us had a little play with the slack line and our volunteer Terry came to mend the chair again 💚🌿🌿

🌿🌿LOOKING forward to the Friday Foxes 🦊 tomorrow- please dress appropriately and bring whatever drinks and snacks you may need 😊🌿🌿

🌿🌿A beautiful Monday Outdoor Learning session spotting some butterflies on our walk – Red Admiral, Silver-washed fritillary, Speckled Wood, Small white (I think) and definitely a Ringlet and more I am sure but moving too quickly.  MANY thanks to our local moth enthusiast Pete who popped by again with a selection of beauties from his moth trap, we played some hide and seek, had water play and bug hunting, clay creations and marshmallow eating 😋😋🌿🌿

🌿🌿THANK you all for coming and see you in a couple of weeks 😊🌿🌿

🌿🌿A SUPER sunny session today for the Friday Foxes 🦊 this morning. A beautiful morning butterfly spotting, playing hide n seek, barefoot walking, mud making (muddy animals!) and some food chopping for our insect friends. A last minute water fight helped to cool us down.😊🌿🌿

🌿🌿LOOKING forward to Monday’s Outdoor Learning Session where we will have more water based fun – please dress appropriately and bring whatever drinks and snacks you may need …. and a water pistol if you have one 😊🌿🌿

 

🌿😊A beautiful morning for Nature Noodles today, WE made a hole for a mole which we found, READ the Hungry Caterpillar (following on from last weeks moth visit 🐛 🦋), WENT on a butterfly hunt spotting lots of Wood Whites, Speckled Woods and others who chose NOT to show us their wings, some exploring and bare foot walking, mud making, den building and chopping up soft fruit for our bugs and other animals 😊🌿🌿

🌿🦋A WONDERFUL morning with the Nature Noodles today in the sun 🌞 – many thanks to Pete for bringing his moth  trap down again turning our ‘bird’ session to a ‘moth’ session with woolly caterpillars hidden in the woods, LOTS of amazing moths to hold and look at, chalk, tools and some lounging around in hammocks 🦋🌿🌿

🌿LOVELY to see everyone this morning, thank you for coming and a BIG thanks to Bob Ainsworth for giving up his time to showcase his carpentry skills and let us have a GO making a fab saw horse and some beautiful t-light candle holders. WE also played in hammocks, played hide n seek, messed about in mud, used some hand tools and made elderflower fritters 😋🌿🌿

🌿🌿THE next Outdoor Learning Monday session will be 8th July and I will post details of what we COULD get up to nearer the time😊🌿🌿

🌿A lovely Friday Foxes 🦊 with some collecting & exploring, picture making adding potions for colour – learning new dinosaur names 🦖 – picking our elderflowers and doing some cooking, a spot of mud play and finishing off with some tin can fires 😊🌿🌿

🌿🌿MONDAY is the Outdoor Learning Session and we have a carpenter coming to join us to look at wood and DO some creating!  THERE will also be the usual Nature Noodles activities 😊🌿🌿

 

🌿🌿STARTING to celebrate the Summer Solstice this morning with the Nature Noodles with a mandala collection for our Summer SUN picture, exploring leaves & texture on our way, hammock play, exploring & investigating, MUD pies and finishing off collecting our elderflowers for a snack.  IS there anything we can’t batter! 😉🌿🌿

🌿🌿LOOKING forward to the Friday Foxes 🦊 tomorrow for our first DRY session for a while 🌞 🌿

 

🌿🌿THE Outdoor Event has finally been and it was AMAZING!  Thank you to ALL the volunteers who all GAVE their time for free from a local musician, moth/ butterfly enthusiast, bird watchers, wildlife wanderers, Forest School leaders, the Wildlife Trust and the lovely Sim and David from Sustrans.  IT was awesome 😊🌿🌿

🌿🌿A lovely morning with my small BUT mighty Friday Foxes 🦊… escaping the rain until the end.  WE spent half the session splashing in puddles, scooping & pouring and perfecting the bark water-run and the second half on site maintenance (many thanks!), ably using the bow saw, loppers and other hand tools to help clear a fallen branch off the Brampton Valley Way 😊🌿🌿

🌿🌿LOOKING forward to less wet weather (hopefully!) next week and trying some elderflower fritters 😋🌿🌿
