Project Description

The Forest School idea is very potent concept
around a theory that whatever children can do
inside they can also do outside. Ecclesall
woods, the ancient woodland within the city
boundary has an old Sawmill site. The site
has exciting new plans for developing a centre
for innovative use of timber and has a number
of small businesses and enterprises already on
the site. At the moment the Forest School site
has outdoor play area and a teepee. They
would like to develop a “structure” to allow for
some additional facilities – to be decided but
most likely an “outside classroom” and the
aim is to build the project.

Holes, rocks and mud

With just two holes left to dig, the team were feeling positive. This was of course all before the massive unmovable rocks that appeared in the ground. Steel poles, pick axes, shovels, spades, blood and sweat were all required to get the job done!

Kyle attempts digging a hole using the magic steel rod only to be surrounded by smoke...



Willie attempts to get a massive rock out of the ground....without success.

A weekend full of rain meant the ground was in perfect condition for getting our boots nice and muddy...Whilst the girls attempted to solve the problem of the slippery quicksand-like ground, the boys were busy with levelling exercises.
