We are loving #ForestSchool this autumn! 🌳❤️ @Muddyfaces

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

We have been closely watching our strawberry patch during our daily visits, they were thrilled to see that we have lots of strawberries, ripe for picking this week!
We prepared them and baked scones for our own afternoon tea! From home grown to home made! @NewForestSussed #EYFS

We are celebrating the life of our beautiful Bees this week with #WorldBeeDay sharing some honey, creating Bees from playdoh and paper and of course sowing more wild flower seeds @NewForestSussed

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

@Muddyfaces Our woolly Bees and pancakes with yogurt and honey! 🐝

We were super excited to spot the tops of our radishes peeking through the soil this week! Lots of the children tried them and said they were crunchy and spicy! Lots more to come too as well as our salad leaves @NewForestSussed #childrensgardening #EYFS

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

The children were so excited to find that our rescued tadpoles had changed into tiny froglets! We carefully transported them to the Forest School pond so they can enjoy their new home 🐸😍 @NewForestSussed @Muddyfaces @NurseryWorld #EYFS

@Lussas Move over you peas for the mighty tromboncino 🤣

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

Today we planted out our fabulous Tromboncino into our allotment! The children are fascinated by anything new and we are excited to watch it grow! Thank you do much Gill @Lussas from the brilliant #Penningtonallotment #EarlyYears #EarlyYearsgardening

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

The bean seedlings are in! Sowed and now Planted and watered by the children and we are hoping to make some tasty baked beans in tomato sauce apparently! @jhonwik26 @jhonwik26 #childrensgardening #eyfs

When a simple fly is as important as any insect or animal to young children! I was summoned to rescue one drowning in the FS pond and the children watched over it until it flew away! Such care and concern is wonderful to see @NewForestSussed @Natures_Voice

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

Nettles at #ForestSchool are kept as part of an important eco system, as the children learn how the butterflies lay their eggs under the leaves. We tap in a hazed flag to ensure everyone stays clear @Muddyfaces @NewForestSussed @savebutterflies

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

The children have carried on their interest in insect ID and this has been extended to the life that lives in the wildlife pond
This provides further opportunities to learn about life cycles, insects names, using ID sheets, water safety and caring for them. @NewForestSussed

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

We have noticed the influx of insects and are keen to investigate under wood and leaf litter to discover them. We use ID sheets to name and are always respectful when moving a habitat or handling, teaching the children to care about their environment @NewForestSussed @Muddyfaces

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

We spent a beautiful sunny morning at #ForestSchool today. The children have enjoyed spotting the gorgeous Bluebells growing throughout the wood, so we provided paints and paper to encourage some observational art, looking at pretty little bells @Muddyfaces @NewForestSussed

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

We are excited to watch our nest boxes being inhabited once again by our group of house sparrows! The children love to watch them and we are hoping for more baby birds being born very soon! @Natures_Voice @NewForestSussed

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

We have been busy at #ForestSchool this week using real tools from @Muddyfaces such as hammers and palm drills to create some amazing chicks and bunnies! Toasting our hot cross buns over the fire with toasting forks has also been fun! 🤩

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

We have began planting our seed potatoes into our own allotment. We dug our trench and talked about how the shoot needs to look for the sky so we plant them shoots upwards. We are hoping for a good harvest! @NewForestSussed #allotment #gardeningforchildren

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

A beautiful week in the spring sunshine at Forest School! Some observational painting of the gorgeous Daffodils, whittling some hazel and tortilla pizzas! @Muddyfaces

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

@Muddyfaces We are loving spotting them emerging at Forest School, they are beautiful to paint too! 😍

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

@Lussas Definitely 👍

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

We picked the last of our huge leeks from the allotment today, donated from @Lussas we had to pull hard as they were so big! We washed and chopped them and mixed with pasta and cream cheese. A delicious snack! #childrensgardening #schoolgardening #preschool #eyfs

[MilfordPreSchoolPlus @PreMilford]

@Lussas Fabulous! Save some for us!! And a tromboncino!!
