• making ‘reading burrows’ & ‘reading dens
  • Arrows from this then point to: crawling in to read; in groups – Forest School names; building with materials from the forest that will make them dark – torches!!
• up trees
• twilight – storytelling and fire as sun sets!
• drinks & snacks: s’mores & toasted marshmallows & hot chocolates & popcorn
• finish each session with reflections & recommendations around log circle & hot chocolate
• ‘Poet-ree’ – leave poems we enjoy/write for others to enjoy – as the leaves are falling off the trees!
