WE ARE BACK TO OUR FAVOURITE PLACE 😍 first day out in the forest exploring the park and potential different base camps with our new HNC students. Lots to see and the rain made an appearance to add to the excitement 🌧 #letsdothis

We found this exciting area where the possibilities were endless. I mean, Look at the size of this massive stick insect 🦗 pond dipping, caves, mud slides, stories and so much more. Imagination and creativity sparks curiosity ✨️

We found this wonderful tree where you have to walk through the leaves and branches to step into this magical space 😍 ideal for story telling and time to enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature - this was a bit hit with the students 😀 #relationships #nature

Sometimes you have to stop and hug a wise old tree 🌳 🙂 Or just stop on the path to appreciate the wonders of nature around you 🥰 #teamelc #hncforestkindergarten

Building relationships 👩‍👦 Building base camps ⛺️ Building mascots 🐛 Building the future early years workforce 😍 with the wonder and benefits of forest kindergarten #forestkinergarten #teamelc First base camp building session of this academic year. It was fun 😃

First attempt at building base camps 🥰 Problem solving. Communication. Team working. Developing relationships. Sense of achievement. Resilience. Wellbeing. Fun. And so much more. If this is what we get from tying tarp to a tree. Just IMAGINE what the children will learn 🥰

The first of our 'well being stations' being created in our rooms. Positive affirmations Believe in yourself We believe in YOU A sweet treat for the mid day slump. A wee coffee sachet for a cafine boost. Breakfast bars to start the day right ✅️ Made the student smile 😃
