Together, children can achieve anything. This cold week spurred the children to collaborate in the building and creating of lots of big features throughout the forest. Constructing houses took up many hours over several days as the children searched for the best resources and tools to build with.

This week the children have demonstrated a real interest in using scales at the Scout Hall to weigh themselves and record their findings.

From chilly to balmy, it’s been a complete mix of temperatures in the forest this week. The children have been in and out of their new winter jackets and hi-vis vests but this is all great skill development for dressing!

What a muddy, messy week it’s been in Fishpond Woods. With more mole hills than ever giving the best digging terrain, the children have been getting to grips with the worm-rich soil and imagining all sorts of play with it.
