Announcement!

Due to a rare opportunity for me we will not be running in the October half term.
I have thought long and hard over this and this is just something that if i turn down i will regret.
Unfortunately Kevin is also away so there is noone else id trust to run the sessions in the way i would want them run.
I am.sorry for any disappointment.

We will be back!

Sorry it's taken a while to post some photos, it's been a busy week!
We've used over fifty litres of water this week, and the heat has made keeping cool and hydrated the priority! Luckily, under shady trees with a gentle breeze is not a bad place to be in a heatwave...
For the last two days, chilling in our new hammocks, crafting gods eyes and generally chilling out have been the theme of the afternoons. However, we've also had some incredible construction projects, including a giant spider web that you can chill in and one of the most successful child built swings and zip lines I've ever seen. We've also had some of the most enthusiastic tree climbers ever, and a lot of fun trying to sneak up on Kevin without him getting you with a water pistol!
One of the things I personally love about forest school is the way the weather and conditions change every time and make every session different, and the way the children have to work through the different groups, conditions and activities...it constantly amazes me how EVERY session brings something new and unique.
That said, I'm sure Kenton will welcome some slightly cooler weather next week...

Hi all, Kevin here; as I'm leading the sessions this week I thought it might be good to introduce myself.

I've been a teacher for the last twenty five years, and worked in specialist schools for the last fifteen years. I've spent most of my life outdoors and was in the Scouts for many years, including becoming a leader - now my son goes to the same group I was at and I still help out now and then.

I was very lucky to get the chance to qualify as a Forest School leader over a decade ago and absolutely loved it from day one. As well as my qualification of level 3 FS leadership and outdoor first aid, as a special school teacher I train regularly in safeguarding and child protection, working with neuro diverse young people and a lot more besides. I've been leading sessions ever since I qualified, and currently run all the weekly sessions for my school as well as running sessions for WNGO in the school holidays. My wife is a Forest School staff trainer and so we keep well up to date with the latest Forest School developments.

There's nothing better for me than seeing young people engaging with the natural world around them, learning new skills and especially the way this lets them gain so much resilience, confidence and self awareness. I'm a passionate believer in the benefits of time in the outdoors for young people (and adults too!) and getting the chance to put this into practise is a real privilege.

When I'm not in the woods, you'll find me fishing for anything that swims, playing cricket, practicing my guitar or looking after my collection of koi carp, reptiles and spiders.

We're looking forward to an exciting day tomorrow!

The weather is forecast to be warm and sunny, but our Basecamp offers plenty of shade and cover.

Could we remind everyone to send your young people with plenty of water, suncream, hats, sunglasses and plenty of water. We will also have several gallons of drinking water if needed and will be keeping a close eye on everyone.

See you all tomorrow!

As it stands we will be supporting Wellesley Woodlands and NOT using fire during our sessions. Should the weather change we will revisit this decision.
