This week we took a different grown up with us to forest school. As Diane hadn’t been for a long time the children explained the rules and how we keep ourselves safe at forest school. We also mentioned our forest school visitor and explained that Steve the robin is extremely friendly. As the words left our lips, guess who arrived? Yes, Steve and Stevie made an appearance! Diane was amazed and even managed to get really close herself.
Look at how close one of the children got to to Steve!
The rest of the day was spent exploring and having adventures. The ground was very frozen and one of the children realised that they could walk straight across the swamp which is usually inaccessible. Some of the children followed but then the ground started to thaw. Suddenly, the mud appeared and the children’s feet began to sink down. Quickly, we all managed to get ourselves onto the embankment where we stood looking at the quickly thawing swamp. Maybe we will try a different route next time!
