What a magical morning we had at Little Woodies today ✨🌿

We began with a festive scavenger hunt through the woodland – searching for Rudolph’s antlers, Santa’s fluffy beard and other wintry treasures hidden amongst the trees.

Back at camp we decorated mini pine cone Christmas trees, made sparkling wooden cookie decorations and enjoyed Santa bananas for our fireside snack. We finished with a seasonal story and hot chocolate around the campfire – the perfect way to end our woodland year.

That’s it for 2025 at Little Woodies… thank you to everyone who has joined us this term. Keep an eye out for some special themed sessions coming in the spring term of 2026 – I can’t wait to share more with you soon. 🌲❄️

Yesterday’s outdoor food safety course was a m blend of theory, hands-on learning and real campfire cooking. We used active learning approaches to help the essential food safety knowledge stick, then put it straight into practice as everyone prepared a meal together over the fire 🔥

The weather certainly tested us 🌧️ yet everyone rose to the challenge with enthusiasm. The group showed the resilience that sits at the heart of successful Forest School and proved that learning outdoors can be fun, engaging and highly practical even in less-than-ideal conditions.

If you’re a Forest School leader, scout leader or anyone who cooks for groups outdoors, this course will give you the confidence and skills to prepare, cook and serve food safely in the great outdoors 🌲
