Lisa levez (guest blogger) Discovery Forest Kindergartners stayed warm today while learning how to move like forest animals that they may see in the snow tracks of this winter! The ground was frozen this morning – not yet snowy – and the temperatures were just below freezing. An excellent time to introduce our Wild Wednesday tracking theme `Animal Movement, Winter …
Monday morning the air was brisk! We bundled up and made our way to the forest where we were surprised and delighted to see everything was just as we had left it. Sometimes we have some fixing up to do after the weekend, but not this time! This meant that we could pick up where we left off and, for …
Monday morning we all woke to a fresh blanket of snow! As you might guess, such a thing is cause for extreme amounts of excitement for our forest school friends! We threw on on our snow suits and got on on our way but we noticed that we didn’t have the wagon. Instead, Chelsa was carrying something else, something that …
Mother Nature sure was up to some tricks this week, bringing very gusty winds which prevented us from going to the forest for safety reasons on Monday. By Wednesday, though, we were so very ready to to get back to the woods. Our student teacher, Nancy had never been to our forest and, what better way to show her around …
Monday morning we bundled up against a very brisk and very chilly wind. There were warnings of high wind gusts so we decided to go for a walk about and keep an eye on the wind.

We saw two flocks of geese flying sort of V-like and practised similar V-like migrations between the classroom and the Discovery Nature Classroom during our Backyard Birds morning. Still out on warm fall days, our seasonal …
After a weekend of record breaking heat, our first morning of forest school for the month of Autumn was no different. With a heat warning for the day and harvesting to do in our gardens, we made our way out into the garden to meet with Melissa and Jaz from Bufco who were waiting for us. They showed us all …
We started our second week at forest school and the last official week of summer with sticky, humid weather. We decided to eat our snack before heading to the forest in hopes it would help us to avoid at least a few mosquito bites. After reading “The Family Book” by Todd Parr, we were anxious to to share our plans …
A new year of Forest School is finally upon us and the children couldn’t have been more excited about this (teachers too!) We have been talking about our forest and about going there to learn and the day had finally come. We talked a little bit about being safe while walking to the woods and then we were off! The …
