This week at Forest School, the children continued developing their new site with great enthusiasm and teamwork. We brought along a large pallet, which was carefully cut down and incorporated into the bug hotel that one of our wonderful volunteers is building.

The children also continued spreading bark to cover the membrane we had laid the previous week, showing fantastic cooperation and determination. One of the adults suggested creating a rockery using the stones we had gathered, and quickly set to work. The children eagerly joined in, helping to transport the stones across the site and arrange them into place.

Another volunteer kindly donated a selection of beautiful wildflowers, which we planted around the rockery to enhance the area and encourage wildlife. By the end of the session, we paused to reflect on our progress and were amazed at how much we had achieved together.

To finish the day, we visited the allotment area, where the children carefully watered the plants and observed how well everything is growing.
