Big Fit Winter Family & Friends Walk 2019

Leave a comment

We had a lovely morning for our walk today – cold but dry! Everyone was wrapped up warm and so we set off at 9am from Cart Mill.

Soon we were in the woods of Busby Glen Park. The colours of the leaves on the trees as we walked along the woodland path was just beautiful.

After the wonderful walk in the woods it was time for a refreshment and a well deserved treat.

A great big thank you to our children, parents and staff for making this a lovely walk with friends today.

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.  See you on Monday x

Forest School Finale

We I It was our last week in the forest for most groups and we reflected on what we have enjoyed during our 10 weeks.  These are some of the experiences the children loved:

Getting muddy!

Swinging through the air!

Investigating nature!

Climbing trees!

Leaf art!

Toasting on the fire!

Today we celebrated our adventures in the forest with a sausage sandwich and a hot chocolate.

That’s Forest School over until February when we will have new groups of children to take on our adventures.
