I got to spend Thursday out at Footprints which is a forest school on a National Trust property in Windermere. We enjoyed communing with nature, lighting fires and learning how to whittle.

My son turned 13 this week! A very low key celebration but with the most important people to us:
My son was representing his school at the NW finals of the cross country cup. He was 2nd in his team, 14th overall but the school were once place away from qualifying for the finals!
Now it is over to you...

ReplyDeleteI recently did a whole project about forest schools with my students.It's fascinating that in Norway and Germany there are forest schools that children attend full time. Their whole primary school outside - even in the snow.
Well done to your son on his cross country and happy becoming a teenager.
some schools in England do that too!
