Welcome back to a new school year. Realised I haven't posted in a while, so looking forward to sharing all of the wonderful things we get up at Forest School 🌳🐦

This week we have introduced the "word of the woods". A password which is whispered to enter the forest school site. The word is then discussed and used during our play. I never knew that the horse chestnut and sweet chestnut trees aren't actually related 😲

Today I introduced the children to Cleavers, which is more commonly known by the fun term- stickyweed or goose grass 😀 We spent ages creating a sticky weed monster, building a den to escape from the monster and rolling around trying to avoid sticky weed attacks. A great day 🤗

Our beautiful new shelter 😍 Thank you so much!

A before and after of @CastleHill_Ips @CHForestschool new 6m x 6m Forest Fire Pit Shelter. What a transformation! 🥰 Thanks for purchasing and for accommodating us today. It’s been a pleasure and we hope the children and staff love it! Cannot wait to see pics of you using it 🥰

[CHForestschool @CHForestschool]

Very excited!!!

[Precision Timber @PrecisionTimber]

We have arrived at @CHForestschool @CastleHill_Ips where they will soon be proud owners of a forest shelter. Keep your eyes peeled for the finished install 🥰

Another year and another set of fox cubs to cause havoc with their playful antics at the forest school site 😀 🦊 @CastleHill_Ips

[CHForestschool @CHForestschool]

Today has been wonderful. Thank you to all the parents and children for all their hard work on our tree planting day. The buzz around the site and the enthusiasm shown has been incredible. Lots of tired children, adults and a forest school leader this evening 😴 @CH_Curriculum

[CHForestschool @CHForestschool]

Let the tree planting commence 🌲🌳 Thank you @WoodlandTrust for our tree saplings. The children have really enjoyed being part of this project and having a positive impact on protecting our environment 👏

[CHForestschool @CHForestschool]

Happy Post today 😀 Proud that our hard work over the past year is being recognised. This year we are striving to be even more green and protect and preserve our natural environments @CastleHill_Ips @ASSETEdu @greensuffolk @suffolkcountycouncil #climatechange #Sustainability

Final week for Framlingham House and the children have definitely been enjoying the s'mores 😋 Thank you to our wonderful PTA for providing the chocolate biscuits for all our children 👏 #forestschool #smores #firelighting @CH_Curriculum

Snail racing, slug finding, vegetable planting and hot cross bun cooking.....where else would you get such a strange mixture of activties than at a forest school session 😁😁 #forestschool #childled #engage #inspire #nature

[CHForestschool @CHForestschool]

A key principle in forest schools is being child led. Giving children the freedom to explore their own interests is hugely beneficial. Here are some photos of Year 4 and 5 demonstrating some of their chosen activities 😀 #forestschool #childledlearning #curious @CH_Curriculum

[CHForestschool @CHForestschool]

This week we welcomed back Framlingham House for their second block of forest school. The season may have changed but their enthusiasm and interest certainly hasn't! A great week looking for signs of spring and doing all the things we love ❤️ #forestschool #nature @CH_Curriculum
