Climbing Trees 🌲
Hmm… what’s going on here? 👀🌳
Just a pair of yellow boots… climbing higher.
This is risky play — one of the beautiful foundations of Forest School.
Children testing their limits.
Building strength.
Learning balance.
Growing confidence — one branch at a time.
In our Forest Skool space, we explore the core principles:
🌿 Child-led learning
🌿 Supported risk-taking
🌿 Connection to nature
🌿 Holistic development
🌿 Long-term process
🌿 Qualified, reflective practice
Because sometimes the biggest growth starts with a simple climb.

🐦 Feeding the Birds at Forest Skool
Today we slowed down.
We stood still.
We stayed quiet.
We waited.
And a chickadee landed on a child’s hand.
This wasn’t just feeding birds.
It was:
• Patience
• Trust
• Gentle hands
• Respect for wildlife
🌿 Forest School in action:
✔ Building a connection with nature
✔ Learning self-regulation \(quiet bodies matter!\)
✔ Growing confidence
