Grounded in Nature Forest School

02/10/2026

We had such an amazing term with all of our groups. We had our older children and our younger children exploring all that the autumn harvest had to bring. We made apple and blackberry crumble, fried a puffball and ended on chocolate chip pancakes and biscuits.

We made Rowan berry protection charms, felted conkers as well as leaving some as an offering to the fairies on the fairy wood and explored the wonderful colours of elderberries through tie dye.

We also spent some time looking at directions and mapping out of Forest School site. A busy term and I look forward to the next

Our new 5 week term is starting on Tuesday 1st September for older children aged 11-15 years. Forest School offers the perfect space for older children to take a break from screens and busy schedules and be fully immersed in nature. They will have opportunities to learn new skills and develop existing ones further. We look to the group for where there interests lie but activities include bushcraft, fire lighting, foraging, cooking, folklore and stories, games, nature art, knots and much more. The space offers invaluable time to grow as a person and within a group.

A wood cookie can become so many different things. We usually make pendants with them but today it was birds. I had a little ‘how to’ sheet for them but what I love is that their creativity took over with some children making stands for their birds. It was the first group to make these birds and it won’t be the last. #

A little snapshot from our camps so far. What I love most is there is always something for everyone.

A snapshot of what our olders groups got up to yesterday. I love that amongst whittling and water filtration they also work as a team on the slack line, enjoy group games and are never too old for the digging hole!

A little snapshot at what we've been up to the last two weeks. Always an interest in lighting fire with flint and steel and a lot of children are leaning towards whittling and tool work but let's not forget the art side of things. We were weaving Mexican God's Eyes/nature eyes and making natural paints.... which were mostly used to paint the shed!
