What a wonderful day we had !
Emma who owns the farm made us very welcome and the children responded very well to the safety talk.
We all went into the forest school wood where we saw the different areas and went to base camp - after a forest fire and crumpets and milk and fruit snack time everyone went off to explore the forest.
The staff were strategically spaced so that they could watch and support but allow the children freedom to explore.
We had den exploring, rope challenge, swinging on tyre swings climbing hillocks , sliding down , balancing along tree trunks, playing in the mud kitchen and wallowing in the mud pits. children collected water, built shelters and explored the wild areas.
We had a picnic lunch together after the muddy children had been hosed down !
and toasted marshmallows on the fire after whittling hazel sticks.
It was a lovely lovely day enjoyed by children and staff - with some tired children on the coach on the way home !
