Happy Christmas!

Romantic present collection from my husband!

My husband is incredibly supportive of my Forest School journey and even went on the Forest School site to buy some kit for me as a Christmas present - unbeknownst to me!



*After all the family had gone and the boy was fast asleep I received an enternity ring too - I love Forest School but I think the ring wins here!

Whittling ~ Knots ~ Trees

A strange combination you may think - my Amazon recommendations are going to be a huge jumble with the arrival of three books. Just need some time to explore them now...

I used a billhook to split these!

At last...

The time was right for me as changes within my year group and the new curriculum opened the door into the outside.

Through persistence of a colleague, Becky, we were booked on to our Level 3 Forest School Practitioner training: without having to pay for ourselves or complete during school holidays.

It all seemed to happen so fast but we were starting our journey to having a Forest School within our school grounds.
