Forest School--The Wild Place

The kids and I participate monthly in a Forest school at a local park with a British home schooling group. Every time we go we are helping the park ranger with his many tasks. Last time we attended we help to coppice hazel trees and you can read about it here. This time we were doing a few different things to get the park ready for spring.

Our first task was to bring in some mulch and to spread it out in the designated area.







































next the children worked on cutting down logs to add to the fire log pile



















Both children love trying their hand at this and were so excited when they were able to chop the wood in half:)









































Then they stacked the wood

Next we worked on cutting limbs off wood and got to work building some dens in the woods

















































































After all that hard work it was time for lunch. Hot soup made over a fire along with bread, tea and hot cocoa.



















After lunch it was time for the kids to play and have some fun!
