Fun at Forest School Club! 🌲🔥🪵
What a fantastic time we had at Forest School Club with Miss Montgomery! We built a crackling fire, toasted gooey marshmallows, and had an amazing time bonding with nature. 🍡🔥🌿
But that’s not all! After the fire had simmered down, we got creative with the cooled charcoal and used it as paint to create some stunning masterpieces. 🎨🔥✨
Our students truly had a blast and immersed themselves in this hands-on learning experience. Forest School Club is not just about fun; it’s about making memories, learning new skills, and connecting with nature.
