A summary
Join us in the outdoor classroom where we’ll be looking for Butterflies and Bugs so we’ll have all the kit to help you get wild outdoors!
Find out who lurks beneath the log piles and who is hiding in the meadow! We will use a range of different methods of catching bugs from sweep netting, tree shaking to lifting up logs. We will also have our usual wildplay activities

This session will follow the Forest School ethos of child-led exploration and play.
