We finished the Forest Garden on time and in budget! It was a joy and a pleasure working at @HaseltinePS and we can't wait to hear all about your #ForestSchool activities 🌳😊

The irrigation system in the Forest Garden will reduce water usage by 50% while ensuring that this mini woodland grows to become a lush forest environment for the children of @HaseltinePS #Sydenham

For a Scout camp this year, people are going to choose groups to be in. it’s important to have some simple, outdoors-proof way of showing who is with who each day.

Some sort of notice board would do, or any other system. Maybe something with name cards or tokens arranged to show the groups.

I want it to be something anyone can see, not a page in my notebook!

Has anyone has done something like this and found a good solution?

Starting to think about next term (yes i know its Easter hols but when else is there time to think?) I have 17 (soon to be 20) children aged 4-10, mix of kindergarten & home ed. Re-looking at class 1-4 themes to see what can be incorporated. We are mostly learner led but good to have in mind some learning opportunities so resources can be available #WaldorfSteiner #ForestSchool #HomeEd https://pyrites.org/files/9714/7681/7400/The_Outdoor_Curriculum_in_Steiner_Education.2015.06.01_WESTT_pdf.pdf

In the week running up to #Easter the children at forest school have made prints using Hapa Zome, bashing flowers with a mallet between two pieces of fabric, they have build wonderful dens, planted new ferns and made little protective fences around them and created a fairy house from natural materials. #OutdoorEdChat #ForestSchool #HomeEducation #SelfDirectedPlay

I talked about #neurodiversity in the context of outdoors education at last year's #ForestSchool Association conference, with Andy from Spectrum Gaming, Stefania Donzelli and Michael James.

It was a great discussion, I thought! My camera cut out after about half an hour, so here's a partial video. There's a link to the Forest School Podcast recording underneath.

We played find your flock last week at #Forestschool. We only had 6 children so just told them the sound their bird made, I don’t print paper if I can help it. For this week I’ve painted some tree cookies. Thought they could double as matching pairs #OutdoorEdChat #BrilliantBirds https://www.buymeacoffee.com/forestschoollou/extras

Commuter: you have lots of bags
Me: yeah I’m off to work
Commuter: what do you do?
Me: I’m a #Forestschool leader
commuter: what’s that?
Me: explains
Commuter: so what do you have to take?
Me: oh my lunch, extra clothes, waterproofs, kindling, box of mummified rats 🐀🫣
Commuter: embarrassed laugh and looks the other way 😂 #OutdoorEdChat

We must pledge allegiance TO ALL LIFE...

Capitalist culture is killing the Earth - our only HOME.

We must have clear intention to step away from being a consumer of the planet & become an active citizen for REGENERATIVE CHANGE.

We must begin a new era of THINKING, BEING & DOING 🙏

It’s a bread baking and a tree cookie sawing kind of a Sunday here, what kind of a Sunday are you having? #OutdoorEdChat #ForestSchool #Baking

"We need to maintain a good connection with Nature in order to enable the necessary societal transformations of the 21st century. Only then can humanity 'live in harmony with Nature by 2050' as ambitioned by our governments"
