Luis mentioned Jack and Ave were in Italy, may be delayed with the Coronavirus outbreak there, so we discussed this virus and how with this connection the danger came to us in this Suffolk wood. Gabrielle the Forgetful announced his imminent departure to the US and sadly he is leaving us just before our solar… Continue reading KFS Wed – more mud, climbing the felled oak, seeing Jupiter and birthdays
Mell and Lorna took our worms, and their Rights and the Earth, down to Aldeburgh for the exhibition 'ARE WE GOOD ANCESTORS?'
After storm Ciara, a top of an oak fell, impacting the forest floor and leaving a limb dangling precariously above. We had to walk around Jupiter, which was strictly out of bounds. Mell arrived early to do a risk assessment issolating the dangerous area with keep out flags. We had singing almost all day when… Continue reading KFS Wed January – after storm Ciara
Still more mud, glorious mud. The mud kitchen is the least muddy area of forest school, and our kitchen is a symphony to mud (I did over hear Kym say, she'd just swept the floor, when someone commented on the mud quality). The tribe love it of course. At one moment Tris said, I've just… Continue reading Jan Home Ed: Mud, Jupiter, flour, little people

There was a delightful tea party at the end, inspired by Eloise, of cucumber sandwiches (gluton free and gluton bread), blue berry hot x buns toasted… Continue reading KFS Wed – Eloise’s tea party, cycles, pheasants,blowing embers
Listening and watching birds today. We found baby squirrel, bird watching and built him a hide. Damper bread, exploring, playing, reconnecting with our beautiful wood.
More glorious mud, foot baths, sock soaks, lots of welcome visitors, a trail of lemon smells, bike paths, more secure tree house. A delightful collection of visitors today - Megan, Leon and Shaun joined us today, as well as Michael from Poland. It was Maya's 15th birthday, and Mell made a delicious chocolate cake in… Continue reading KFS Wednesday Dec – MUD
What a glorious wet and mud full day. The ponds were full - including the flood pond, the oaks golden, the hazel ochre yellow. Eloise and Mell did more work on the tree house with decking found in the back of a lorry by Rachel. Tris and Jack coated in mud, climbed up the first… Continue reading KFS Wednesday – Glorious Mud
