We had a fantastic day in the forest today!

We discussed how we felt at the start of the session, using traffic light colours to highlight how we felt and we compared our feelings at the end of the session.

We learned about boundaries and how to assess risks and we used markers to establish our boundary line and identify different levels of risks in our forest.

We had a social snack and ate together outside.

We had the opportunity to explore and play. Some of us decided to play with hoolahoops, frisbees and the parachute, some of us climbed trees, some of us explored different trees/plants and leaves, some of us made a den using material and sticks, some of us went on a litter pick using the litter grabbers.

We then did a sit spot exercise where we sat or stood on our own in silence, listening to the sounds and looking carefully. Lots of us found this really relaxing and we discussed what we could see and hear.
