Spotted this little fellow on a walk, and because my knowledge of birds is pretty poor, let’s play… what’s that bird?! 😳 #help

More memories: we made nests out of resources found in the setting that represented the different categories of ‘smarts’ that we all learn in. Here’s my example of a nest built as if I were a ‘body smart’ (which according to my trainer, I am!🤷🏼‍♀️)

During my Forest School training week I was asked what goal I hope to achieve by the end of the week, which was to improve my tool use. On the last day I was able to knock up this little bench! (with a little help 🤫)

Whittling to create tent pegs! It’s fair to say I’ll never be short of a peg while camping again😅

Some memories from my forest school training week, the 5 point star of ‘the self’ which we created with things we found in our natural environment. The points of the star stand for control, consciousness, catalyst, compassion and community ✨
