We started the session with some willow weaving, tree identification time in the hammocks and got to know each other a little more. We shared some yummy lentil soup (thank you Val) and talked about some names for the group which prompted some interesting ideas and lots of laughter, thanks for a lovely morning and look forward to our next session on 18th March

It was lovely to be back in the woods with this love bunch, this was our first home Ed session this year as we were unable to run last term as we needed to find a new site to run from. Thanks to the Maple Farm we have a wonderful new site.
The day started with exploring and getting to know the new site, after that the group crafted with clay and made bird feeders, played in the mud kitchen, climbed trees and swung on the tree swing, drew on the chalk board and each other. We were joined by two cheeky robins who have been keeping us company during preparations and today during our session. The group have now decided to call the site Robins Wood.
