# New and improved forest school!

We’ve loved spending time in our new and improved forest school area! The children enjoyed exploring the refreshed space, noticing the changes, and making the most of the outdoors, with the sun shining too!

As part of our session, we carried out a fun worm experiment to see how healthy our soil is. The children carefully searched for worms and learned how they help keep the soil rich and full of nutrients.
