🍂✨ Can You Find the Light This Autumn? ✨🍂

Today we celebrate the Autumn Equinox — when day and night are almost equal, marking a turning point in the Wheel of the Year. 🌞🌙

As the days grow darker, let’s look for the light, colour and beauty that autumn brings. 🍁💛

Pause. Breathe. Notice. Find your colourful moment today. 🌿

💛 What little bit of autumn beauty have you noticed today?

🕷️🍂 Why do we see more spiders in autumn?

Ever noticed that spiders suddenly seem to be everywhere as the seasons change? There are a few reasons why!

🕸️ It’s mating season – Many adult spiders become more active in late summer and autumn as males search for females.

🏡 They come indoors – As temperatures cool, some spiders wander into houses looking for shelter and somewhere warm.

🌿 Their webs are easier to spot – Cool, damp autumn mornings leave tiny droplets of dew on webs, making their incredible patterns sparkle in the sunlight.

🕷️ They’ve grown up! – Many spiders are now fully grown after spending spring and summer developing, so they’re much more noticeable.

So next time you spot a beautiful web covered in autumn dew, take a moment to have a closer look. These amazing little creatures are an important part of our woodland ecosystem, helping to keep insect populations balanced. 🌳💚

Here’s a few I’ve spotted today.

🍂 Autumn is showing us its magic! 🍁🌿

This week we’ve been slowing down and taking a closer look at the changing woodland — exploring all the beautiful autumn colours and discovering that the spiky little cases from beech trees are called beech mast. 🌰🔍 Thanks to for their amazing id resources.

Using our digital magnifying glasses, we got up close to the tiny details around us, discovered lots of beautiful rose hips and noticed just how much there is to explore when we take the time to really look. 🌿✨

The children created beautiful autumn hanging decorations, using clay and natural treasures, while our older children have been preparing for the colder months by gathering fuel for future fires and learning to use the billhook safely. 🪵🔥

Along the way we’ve been practising communication, teamwork and safe tool use — with plenty of laughter and fun too!

A wonderful week of curiosity, creativity and connection with the changing season. 💚🍂

🍂 Welcoming Autumn at Forest School! 🍁🌿

What a beautiful week we’ve had, exploring autumn and all its abundance! We’ve been noticing the signs that nature is giving us — spotting sycamore seeds and making our very own helicopters, exploring the incredible autumn colours and learning why the leaves change, collecting natural materials for dens, and beginning to practise our knots.

We’ve been busy little squirrels too! 🐿️ Exploring berries, foraging and discovering what treasures the woodland has to offer.

Our creativity has continued with elderberry dyeing, experimenting with the beautiful colours these berries can produce. 💜 And we couldn’t resist using the last of the blackberry jam made by one of our lovely groups last week to create campfire doughnuts! 🍩🔥

Our Year 5 & 6 children decided it would be kind to sell little pots of the remaining jam to parents and carers , with all proceeds going towards a local cake sale that’s being held soon raising money for cancer research. They were incredibly excited — and rightly proud of the jam they had foraged for and made themselves last week. 💚

A wonderful week of noticing, learning, creating and connecting with nature as we welcome in the new season.

🍂 Here’s to a colourful, abundant and adventurous autumn! 🍁

🌈✨ THANK YOU, GREEN MAN! ✨🌈

What an amazing weekend at Green Man Festival, working with and bringing Family Yoga to the beautiful Nature Nurture area. 🌿💚

We met some absolutely amazing families who jumped in, played yoga and embraced the joy of moving, creating and connecting together.

And that’s what we love about 🌈 — we don’t just teach a class, we co-create it together. There’s creativity, imagination, laughter and lots of fun along the way!

We created our own yoga poses and magical yoga journeys, danced to the music, moved our bodies, connected our minds and shared some really special moments as a group. 🧘‍♀️🎶💫

Thank you to every family who came along, got involved and helped make our sessions so joyful. And a huge thank you to for having us! 💚

Until next time, keep stretching, playing, dancing and connecting! 🌈🌿✨and thanks for your uncle duties during my sessions 💕😎🍄🌳

🌿 Our final Summer Holiday Forest School day at Springhead Trust! 💚

What a beautiful way to finish our summer sessions in the woods.

We spent lots of time visiting the spring and enjoying being amongst the incredible plants, flowers and wildlife. We spotted red kites soaring overhead 🦅, butterflies fluttering around us 🦋 and, of course, made plenty of time for huge bubbles, hammocks and relaxing woodland moments.

The boats were back too! 🚤 The children revisited their boat-building skills from our first session, making new creations and thinking about how they could improve on their previous designs. Lots of whittling, experimenting and getting stuck into the natural surroundings followed.

It was also lovely to welcome a couple of new Forest Schoolers who settled in so quickly, made friends and became part of the group in no time. 🌿💚 It was so lovely to have you join us and we really hope to see you again soon!

A huge thank you to everyone who has joined us at Springhead this summer. We’ve had such a wonderful few days filled with nature, creativity, friendship, curiosity and lots of fun.

Enjoy the rest of your summer holidays, everyone! ☀️🌳

We can’t wait to see you back in the woods soon. 💚
