Forest School 

This week we continued to connect with nature in various ways. This included hugging trees (5/6GP were the best tree huggers!); making mud doughnuts; trying to catch tadpoles (no luck yet); catching a baby yabby (we think…); whittling using Opinel knives; and building structures such as teepees and see-saws. It has been fun, muddy and satisfying!

I am seeking donations of wood offcuts for children to practice some basic tool skills using hammers and hand drills. Please send me an email if you think you have something suitable: sarah.kline@education.vic.gov.au.

I am also seeking volunteers to help with some sessions so that we can practise lighting and cooking on fire again. Please get in touch if you have some flexibility to attend a double session on either a Monday or Wednesday to support the program. 

Equally, if you can spare 45 minutes during your child’s Forest School time-slot we’d love you to join us! Please get in touch to arrange this. The children love showing their families the things they do at Forest School!
