Good morning! Enjoy!
It's been a while since I wrote a blog. I'm rusty! But I need to get back into the swing of it.
Here's the first of the year!

Hoping the glowing sundown = a good day tomorrow!
Yr 4 kept moving to keep warm this afternoon. It felt milder than this morning, but then the temperature dropped and the snow started to fall! π₯Ά
Year 6 Ice Hunt this morning!
-3Β°c meant keep moving, but nature's ice sculptures were too pretty to ignore!

Can't wait to get familiar with this amazing site too!
New term, new site, new job!
7 non-stop hours of putting together an outdoor classroom today - and I'm exhausted!
Hopefully better pics by the end of the week!
Ready to step out into the outdoor classroom in 2026? π±
We asked educators to tell us why they choose to teach outdoors. Before you head back to school after the holidays, discover why they think you should give it a try this year, plus their advice for getting started π

Time to pack away all the glass baubles! Not quite 12th Night, but almost! And work starts tomorrow. How did you spend your Sunday!?

Why does the HUGE moon always look small on a pic!?
This is the collection of outdoor practitioners that the wonderful @creativestar.bsky.social put together. We will all sorely miss her
Such sad news. @creativestar.bsky.social was instrumental in bringing together many outdoor practitioners on here and always strive to support and connect others.
She will be missed
The feathered ice on the skylight above my bed first thing in the morning! Ice is pretty, but hoping the iced dew on the glass doesn't equal an icy lid on the pond!
After 6 yrs creating Forest School at Chartham, I'm off to do the same again at Parkside Primary in Canterbury

Ivy stems are especially great curling! A group of 3 boys hunted down these words. Can you read them?
Repetition and experimentation wins through!
It's been a busy day! SEND Apple Class helping to fill the new bug hotel in our new Wildlife Area, then making some great Ball Run Tracks,Yr 3 Maple Class writing with sticks, and Yr 1 exploring Under The Trees!
It'll have to be a thread!
