Last week's session at Forest School was really special and precious. Before joining the allotment as usual, we went to the pond and saw some frogspawn. We used a net to carefully place some in a little bowl so the children could observe them up close. We were very careful not to harm them.
The children were respectful of the frogs and other creatures living in the pond habitat. They avoided touching the water to prevent any disturbance and used their quiet voices so as not to scare the frogs. Unfortunately, the sun wasn’t out, so most of the frogs were hiding.
The children were amazed and surprised by the jelly-like texture surrounding the eggs. We learned that this substance nourishes the eggs as they grow into beautiful tadpoles, then froglets, and eventually frogs.
We hope to return soon to see how our tadpoles and frogs are doing.
Have a lovely weekend!

Welcome to the Allotment!
On Thursday, for their first session, Little Acorns were very lucky to be greeted by fantastic sunshine. They met "Carotte," our Forest School mascot, and I think Carotte has already charmed them (as she always does!). The adults were really impressed by the youngest children of Buckland. They were a bit shy (which is always the case during our first session), but they were fantastic explorers. They quickly and independently got changed, but most importantly, they were kind and supportive of each other. They worked together to build an obstacle course or added water to make sticky mud in the mud hole. They took turn to jump on it ! We are so proud of them.
As we did this week, the focus next week will be to continue discovering the allotment. We may also learn how to walk around and avoid crossing the fire area. If it’s still too early to have a fire, we are already training ourselves by using our pretend fire.
A big thank you to Nesta for being our Forest School helper this term.
I also wanted to make you aware that Little Acorns won’t be attending Forest School on Thursday, March 27th, due to Acorns Assembly.
Please have a look at the pictures below – they speak volumes!
Have a lovely Weekend.
Mrs Lefevbre.
