Gosh what a beautiful picture you paint. I’m a Forest School Practitioner in a primary school and can confirm all of these things happen! I find it fascinating to let the children lead their own learning, often teaching me things and asking questions I don’t know the answer to but we find out together. One thing I’ve never heard is a child complain they’re bored outdoors! Thank you for this wonderful writing 💚

Ah Rhiannon, thank you for your kind words. Always lovely to connect with fellow Forest Schoolers 🌿 The forest is such a special place to learn alongside young people isn't it? It amazes me each session, I just wanted to record it somehow and share the joy with others. Thanks for reaching out 🙏
