Forest School session 1 wildlife

It was our first public session and 10 lovely 5 year olds from Bideford came for a day of exploring and playing in the woods. During the day we saw a nice little variety of creatures including the slow worm and little toad in the pictures. we also saw loads of massive slugs, lots of beetles and a few spotted some mice or voles. walking through the woods we found some lovely little animal homes saw signs of squirrels in the empty hazel nuts and the raven even made an appearance just as I was pointing out their nest. Some of the children were hoping for tigers and even sharks but we were all pretty excited with today's encounters.
