Year 2 were thrilled to discover a whole village of strange dwellings had appeared in our Forest School. Who could have made them? Will they come back? Fairies, goblins or woodland creatures, the children were so excited. They decided to leave some messages for the visitors. First they collected some natural materials then worked in pairs to make images of different creatures. They left them next to the little mini-dens in the hope that whoever built them might see there pictures and know that they are welcome here.
Principle 2: Forest School takes place in a woodland or natural wooded environment to support the development of a relationship between the learner and the natural world.
