Cedar Group finally made it to forest school! 🌿🌱🌿🌱
Once we arrived, we set about exploring the forest making sure we didn't get lost, we made marks on the trees using special tree pencils (charcoal) to make a trail so we could find our way back. We had a great time exploring the very overgrown forest and had to be very careful walking on the uneven terrain and watching out for all the stinging nettles that have grown wild in the warm weather! 🌿🍃🌿🍃
We found an amazing climbing tree 🌳 where we could practise our climbing and had to think very carefully about taking risks and assessing if it was safe to climb.
Well done Cedar Group! We got there eventually! ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
