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

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

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

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

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 Jen ASSET Education Creating The Greenest County - Suffolk 🍃 @suffolkcountycouncil #climatechange #Sustainability

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 👏

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

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

Very excited!!!

Our beautiful new shelter 😍 Thank you so much!

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 🤗

🙂🙂

Celebrating international mud day with Year 1 today. Lots of fun 😀 😄

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 😲

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 🌳🐦

Showing off our discovery den! Can't wait to see the children exploring in here this year 🔬🔍🦴

Happy new year from the forest school team. Let's see what adventures 2025 will bring 🌳 #forestschool #outdoorlearning #winterweather Jen

This week our word of the woods was "Hoglet"....look at these cute baby hedgehogs made from teasel and clay 😀😀 #forestschool #hedgehogs Jen
