Autumn! Woodland Playgroup - Lewes Railway Lands

This is a warm, friendly and nurturing group inspired by the Forest School ethos of child lead exploration and learning. It is a special time to be in the woods with your child making new friends whist connecting to nature and having lots of fun.

Following a similar format each week with the ritual of joining at the circle to light the fire together, to having a story and songs around it at the end with a tasty snack we've cooked, brings a grounded sense of familiarity and calm were the children learn to be safe and the ancient practice of being together in the woods. From here they are free to go off to explore the activities and the woods!

Each session has a theme around an animal or something interesting happening in nature at that time. Activities are great for manual dexterity, coordination, strength, balance and confidence, crafts are for you to make with your child, but also a moment for you to create something simple (no experience necessary!) whist sitting by the fire and children play.

Concessions considered for low income families please do not hesitate to contact Laura for a reduced rate.
