My little neighbour Olivia has helped me immensly this afternoon to help re-make some "Keeping safe at Forest School" flashcards and she made a lovely poster too.
Looking forward to returning to schools new and existing on 9th September running outdoor nurture groups.

I am studying to become an accredited "Outdoor Mental Health Practitioner" for SEN and Complex needs of children.

I am looking forward to developing and supporting more children's social and emotional needs in a Forest School environment in schools from September.

Here are some photos from Tuesday Tribe today. Yesterday Libby started making bird boxes at Clowne Junior School, Sarah had a 1:1 session and today was at Woodthorpe Primary School making bird feeders, den building and playing games.

[Nature Explorers Derbyshire @NatureExplDerby]

Yesterday Thursday Home Ed Tribe split into 2 teams and made a flag each for Capture the Flag.

Clowne Juniors enjoyed being creative & smaller groups made minecraft tools.

At a 1:1 session we made some fruity bird feeders (and ate quite a bit of it ourselves 😆).

🍂🍃Happy New Year to all!🍃🍂
Trees are sleepy, wildlife is quiet; soon we will see signs of new life sprouting up from the soils & our ears will be full of birdsong. Leaves uncoil, smells of wild garlic & bluebells colour the woodland beside it all are children making memories
