Everyone benefits from being in the outdoors, and bushcraft helps us understand nature more and connect to it better. Bushcraft for children is a way to teach them what nature can provide for them, and they bond with nature. They learn life skills through bushcraft, have a lot of fun, and it is also a way for families to spend some …
We get a lot of enjoyment out of making and using campfires as part of our outdoor experiences. It adds an extra sense of adventure to our outdoor trips, whether hiking, camping, or just visiting a beach to play, and in the cooler months it makes our meal break a very cosy one. I haven’t always been happy with fires …

A few weeks ago my little lady returned from her day away on her sjöscout island bursting with lots of enthusiasm over the day, but mainly for the food that they had prepared and eaten.

Today’s forest school topic ran on nicely from last weeks nature curriculum topic of mini beasts. There was a lot of different activities set out in the woods which the children could choose to dip in and out of, and do as much or as little of each one as they fancied. They didn’t have to move on if they …
Today was the first session back at forest school, and although we won’t be there for the whole lot we have booked, this is the one thing I have kept going (along with brownies as you can pay weekly for that). I am hoping it will make us all get out the house and have something to look forward to …
After we had updated our National Trust books (plant it, eat it, grow it as, the cherry tomatoes were sampled), my trio headed over to where they do Forest School for their leaving party, and to say goodbye to their little friends….well mainly our little ladies friends that the boys love being with!! We had 12 little people, and an …
Well it’s certainly been very busy!! However, we have achieved a lot and managed to get our heads around a few key subject areas. The first job of the morning was to head to a supermarket, to price up a food budget, and get a better idea of the cost of living compared to home, and the good news is, …
