For anyone who is involved in Forest School sessions at their setting.

Please bring your lunch with you. Work or gardening gloves if you have them. A chair, if you'd prefer not to sit on a log. You are welcome to bring something else to cook on the fire, such as crumpets, toasting tea cakes, sweet waffles, brioche, fruit, e.g., pineapple/mango. No uncooked meat or nuts.
