Saw lots of gorgeous Butterflies on our Mindful Walk in Kings Wood yesterday but this one definitely stopped to pose for us! #forestschooladventures #mindfulwalking #noticethesmallthings #naturetherapy #peacockbutterfly

Working on Saturday is a pleasure, I get to be a child again 😊 #forestschooladventures #mindfulwalkingforchildren #denbuilding #foraging #naturephotography

Such a happy Forest School session at Blossom Years Childcare, Chislehurst. I got time to work on a new Nature Habitat and notice signs of Spring & curious treasures to fill my own emotional bucket! #Forestschooladventures #EYFS #SENinclusion #Naturetherapy #Animaltherapy #Appreciatethesmallstuff

Fri-yay’s Forest School session with the Blossoms was mostly about bouncing, climbing, throwing yourself on the floor & laughing. Absolutely wonderfully bonkers! #Forestschooladventures #EYFS #naturetherapy #resilientchildren #getchildrenoutside

We had a very short Forest School session yesterday afternoon because it was so cold but we managed to feed the crows & magpies some out of date mince pies which made everyone happy! #forestschooladventures #getthekidsoutside #caringforwildlife #resilientchildren

This child is amazingly bright & loves being outside. He’s very shy if anyone try’s to speak to him but recently he’s been asking me to film him for his mum if we do anything exciting.

I was supposed to be out on a Woodland Walk session this morning but the wind speed & gusts would have made it impossible. Sharing pictures of a session that happened last week where we explored Owl Pellets! #forestschooladventures #mindfulwalking #naturetherapy #getthekidsoutside

3/ 🧵 “What’s a comedian?”, I told him it’s “Like a clown for children!”
He’s only 6! Then I wrestled them for my money back! 😂 #forestschooladventures #mindfulwalking #naturetherapy

A brilliant Woodland Walk with 2 boys I taught in Nut Tree Nursery nearly 2 years ago. It’s been lovely to reconnect with them on a 1:1 basis during school holidays. I really noticed how much they’ve grownup 😊 #forestschooladventures #naturetherapy #mindfulwalking

I was invited to watch the Blossoms Nativity practice this afternoon & it was so cute my face ached from smiling! Afterwards the children had a quick run around at Forest School as the sun was setting, absolutely magical 😊 #Forestschooladventures #sensoryplay #nativity

Been busy collaborating with Summer Holiday groups this year, & loved every minute out of my comfort zone! It’s time for a break but I’m grateful for this photo taken today, I usually take the photos! #forestschooladventures #naturetherapy #independence #lovemyjob #collaborativeworking

I enjoy being an Independent Forest School Leader using therapeutic skills because it allows me to support some wonderful people & organizations in beautiful settings, offering fantastic experiences to young people.
It’s about collaboration not competition! #naturetherapy #forestschooladventures
