It’s Great To Be Back!
Wed 06 Sep 2023When the weather’s as glorious as this there’s no place better to be than Forest School. Mountain Class had a great afternoon harvesting apples (and sampling a few), onions and seeds as well as hunting for frogs and caterpillars.
Year 1 even had time to get started on the all important Tree Climbing Licence!
What a busy afternoon it was, here’s hoping the weather stays as good for the rest of term.

Eco-Gnomes and the Seedbank
Thu 09 Mar 2023The eco-team are pleased to announce that the seed bank is reopen and ready for action for all your seed requirements this spring. We've already had several orders and are keeping track of where in the UK they've come from.
Not only have the team been hard at work with the seedbank, they have created two eco-gnomes for the children to borrow and take home on eco-adventures. Nico and Naomi (the gnomes) have had a busy first week out adventuring and can't wait to do some more. Don't forget to let us know what they do with you.
Let Miss Bell know if you would like one to spend a few days with your family. She will update the eco section of the Forest Schools page with gnome adventures when they start coming in.
