Forest School progress...

 The Forest School area has been slowly transforming into an area with structure, purpose                              and order (but intentionally not too rigid!!) There was a big push last Summer when staff had a gardening day, moving around some of the fixtures, brainstorming ideas and since then, with the help of loads of input and enthusiasm from the pupils, things are really beginning to take shape.




As you can see from these two shots of the poly tunnel interior, things are constantly evolving;            the pupils commented on the uneven floor and as there was a big pile of reclaimed bricks just stacked up that we had salvaged, a few days later we had a new and improved area for the Forest school classes to work.


We have constructed some compost bins from materials donated/salvaged and also utilised some existing things in creative ways to maintain some order around the area.


The younger pupils in our Forest School sessions are fully embracing this magical time of year when everything starts to burst into life after the tediously long and wet Winter everyone has had to endure.




And outside the poly tunnel, the first warm rays of sunshine are encouraging everything to emerge...
...the willow dome is on its way!
