Forest Yogi Minds

What a wonderful way to end the school year with Pimperne Primary! ☀️🌿Pimperne Primary

We spent a glorious day immersed in nature, whittling, creating magical fairy doors, sculpting clay bears and other imaginative creations, relaxing in the hammock, and remembering to stay hydrated in the beautiful sunshine. We even made delicious s’mores in our sun oven, using foil and the power of the sun’s reflection, before bringing our imaginations to life with wool and creative crafts.

Thank you, Pimperne Primary, for your fantastic manners, enthusiasm, creativity and smiles. It’s been a joy to share Forest School adventures with you, and we hope to see you again soon! 💚

This week at Forest School we’ve been inspired by the incredible land artists Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Shilling, Patrick Dougherty, Chris Drury, James Brunt and Nils-Udo.

Using treasures gathered from the forest floor, alongside dried beans, clay and a few extra natural materials, we’ve created beautiful mandalas, mosaics and nature-inspired artwork. Taking time to slow down, notice patterns, colours and textures, and appreciate the beauty all around us.

One of the loveliest moments was hearing several children comment on how calm they felt while creating. It was wonderful to see them becoming completely absorbed in the process, taking their time and enjoying the peacefulness that nature offers.

With the hot weather, there were no campfires this week 🔥, but that certainly didn’t stop the Forest School fun! Sometimes the simplest activities create the biggest moments of connection, creativity and wellbeing.

🍂 Slow down.
🌿 Look closely.
🎨 Create with nature.
💚 Feel the calm.
