We had SO MUCH FUN in Forest School! While our backyard was being transformed, we set off into Golden Gate Park for some amazing adventures. We each got a special “adventure bag” to fill with anything we wanted to collect, and a little notebook and pen to take notes and draw pictures of anything we saw. We loved being able to search and find leaves, pine cones, and acorns, and take breaks together writing in our notebooks.
We paired up with buddies and explored together to discover lots of exciting places and pathways throughout the park. We pretended to go on “bear hunts” and spent a lot of time trying to find their caves and other hiding places. We learned a lot about the different plants and trees in the park as well as all the animals! We saw our raccoon family friends each day near the duck pond, lots of birds, bugs, and squirrels, and even a great blue heron! We worked together to build lots of different structures with all the fallen branches and bark we found and loved climbing around in all the trees- our imaginations went wild! Eating all our meals on the picnic blankets was a lot of fun and we were all really excited to get to sleep outside too!
Seeing the kids so engaged and joyful was amazing- we will definitely be doing forest school again soon! Enjoy all these pictures highlighting just a bit of all the fun.
