Today was all about mud, mud and more mud! What a super squelchy afternoon we have had...finished off with yummy crumpets toasted on the campfire.

F was very excited to show us an animal skull he had found on the way to school during opening circle-we all had a close look and made a suggestion as to what type of animal it could be-most thought squirrel.
During the session, some of the children were keen to learn how to safely use a folding saw.
Other children happily climbed, dug, swung, cooked, chilled and played their way through a lovely sunny afternoon in the Wild Woods.

This week, we remade our name cookies and safely used the hammer to make the hole in the top. We also enjoyed some den building, relaxing in the hammocks, baking yummy treats in the mud kitchen, swinging and climbing. Some of the children created a catapult, seesaw and a slide for the woodland creatures to play on-super creativity guys! Another wonderful afternoon in the woods.

It was Reds v Blues in our tug of war this afternoon with a fair result of 1 win each! Then lots more team work spreading the bark chippings throughout the woods (with some bark angels for good measure), pushing each other in the swing and chilling together in the hammock. We really are having the best time being back in the Wild Woods.
