☀️🌱What a difference a week makes……This week has really started to feel like spring is on the way!🙌🌱☀️!

Such a lovely couple of days exploring, creating, playing and having fun …
We created ‘listening people’ with clay and sticks to help us hear the sounds of spring….. love the imagination, creativity and different ideas that emerged..
💚The under 5’s sessions have been full of slackline balancing, mud painting, den building (our new secret den!) and exploring the woodland - with waffles toasted on the fire to finish
💚The wonderful year 2’s in their 2nd Forest school session this term really focused in on being in nature, thinking about what they could hear, see, smell and touch- as well as exploring the possibilities with such enthusiasm!
💚The fabulous home Ed gang are so independent in their sessions - all bringing their own ideas as to what they want to do! From finding an incredible number of worms and researching facts about them, to using a bow saw, drill and peeler to create a beautiful woodland fawn! Our den has been added to and made even more sturdy - another extension planned for next week! A special shout out to one very creative mum who created a gorgeous sign from clay and Forest findings as well as an amazing clay head 💚 (Forest school is not just for the kids!)
💚Looking forward to starting the new term at Sol Haven tomorrow- have missed this place and the team so much!

🌳💚It’s great to be back outside! What a brilliant morning at Bradlaugh Fields with our first session back in the Outdoor classroom….it was touch and go as to whether we would be able to run the session outside, but the weather was very kind to us with beautiful sunshine and just a light breeze…. Windy sticks, bubbles and bird feeders and even managed a fire to finish! 🔥
Thank you to everyone who joined us today🌳💚

🌟🌟I love seeing HOW the children choose to play with the possibilities set out in the sessions…. It’s amazing to see what the children come up with when they have the freedom to explore 🌟🌟

🌟SAND-digger tracks, scooping and pouring, burying, feet and hands in!
🌟DINOSAURS- cave building, naming every single one (wow!), making foot prints in dough, hiding inside dough ‘eggs’ and helping them hatch
🌟BRICKS-building towers, knocking them down, making houses and cars
🌟LOOSE PARTS - making food, stirring, stacking, rolling, role play cafe

The children who come to these sessions make every single one different and every single one fun 🥰
Thank you for bringing your imagination and creativity….looking forward to next week already! ###
