As we wandered through our forests school site, one child found what he thought was a caterpillar on the ground but when we looked more closely we realised it was actually a catkin that had fallen from a tree. We talked about how catkins grow on certain trees and tried to work out which tree it might have come from by looking at the branches and leaves nearby. It was interesting to discover something new and learn a bit more about the trees in the forest.

Later we discovered our forest school site is littered with lots of fairy houses hidden between tree roots and mossy logs. We decided to make magical wands by choosing special sticks and decorating them with beautifully coloured ribbons. What a magical day where the forest felt like a place full of imagination and adventure.
