This week at forest school a new group of children joined us for woodland adventures. As we headed into forest school we were immediately met with a floor full of acorns. We chatted about where the acorns had come from and why they were there. One of the children pointed out they had come from an oak tree and they were for the squirrels. The children decided to collect as many acorns as possible and then piled them high. They thought the squirrels would be very happy as they didn’t need to find the acorns now as the children had done the job for them.

This week there was a lot of climbing and jumping from different heights. The children have been developing their confidence in the woodland and as the photographs show, they are happily exploring risk taking too.

We discovered a new area today and this has led to lots of questions and theories. We will be further exploring this site next week so watch this space!
