Wild Lives Forest School CIC

It’s been a rather soggy June so far, so the wild ones have been manifesting a nice sunny weekend for the summer solstice 😎 You’re welcome! 😉 It was a great excuse to get messy and creative!

Solstice blessings & happy father’s day to all the dads!

Lovely Rachel who has been helping me out with the wild ones on Tuesdays is raising money for the brilliant Bearwood Community Hub. The money will go to their Wednesday Warm Welcome project which provides a friendly, supportive place for local people with a free nourishing warm meal. Please support her if you are able 🙏

Fantastic day of woodcraft in the woods yesterday with Tom and some of the team from Coventry Outdoors. This was the first in their series of free events for outdoor practitioners as part of the Coventry Outdoor Learning Network.

We made fishing spears, gorgeous whimsy mushroom pencils, clackers and things that spin. So good to have a day in the woods to play and learn and spend time with other outdoor ed folk! Looking forward to sharing these ideas with our groups.

Coventry Outdoors have loads more events coming up for outdoor folks to get involved with - https://bookwhen.com/coventryoes

🌿 It’s nearly time for the little wild ones to back in the woods and we can’t wait!

All the seasons are our favourite but there’s something especially magical about the summer term - the woods are awake and full of life 🌸🐛 The trees are so green, the sun is shining, and the elderflower blooming!

We have a handful of spaces in our early years groups for the coming half-term block which starts next week - if you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is the time!

Go to bookwhen.com/wildlives to grab one of the last spots 🙌

Tomorrow’s forecast: hammocks, shade, and wild adventures on our Woodland Adventure Day 😎 And we’ve got just a handful of spots left for children age 8-12 years - last chance to book!

Playing and learning under the cool tree canopy is the place to be!!
