A summary

At Pennington Flash Forest School, children lead the way—sessions are all about play, exploration, and following their own interests. Each day starts with open-ended nature play, from bug hunts and bird spotting to creative games and building dens. Crafts and activities come next, using natural and found materials for projects like wild painting, knot tying, or making woodland creations, all guided by what the children want to explore that day.

Stories and group time happen beneath the trees, where kids can share their ideas and discoveries. If the weather’s good, we gather round a small fire to toast snacks, chat, and reflect on what we’ve done. No two sessions are ever the same because each one is shaped by the children’s curiosity and imagination—every child brings something different, and every play-focused adventure is unique at Pennington Flash.
