Festive Forest Experience finished the year off merrily!

Our 3 weekends of Festive Forest School came to an end on Sat 23rd December and what a success it was, we were almost fully booked with 155 out of 160 tickets sold. We all hope you and your little ones enjoyed it as much as we did?! For those who didn't attend, we will most definitely doing it again at the end of this year. Santa was a great hit ( and for those who didn't recognise him behind that bushy beard, it was Simon who helps out at our Junior Explorers sessions on Saturday mornings). There were craft activities, mulled wine, mince pies, toasting of marshmallows and a super story at the end sat around our fire circle. We will be thinking of doing this in Leek too.

  Since then we've been having a break from Forest School, resting up over the holiday period BUT now we are back planning and preparing for next term and oh we have lots in store for you...

Inside Out goes international!!

 At the end of February, Trudy and I are flying out to Pisa in Italy to facilitate some Forest School sessions over a period of days. We are going to be working with a large group of 2- 5 year old Italian children at 'Happy Days English Preschool and Language School'. Excited is an understatement!!
