✨ Days 5 and 6 of Wild Wood Holiday Club ✨ Swings swayed, bridges were built, sticks became tools and toys (and beds!) and hammocks were the perfect spot for a rest between adventures. The children played manhunt through the trees, lit fires and worked as a team to follow clues on a treasure hunt.
Dens were built, mud was squelched, whittling skills were sharpened and new friendships were made. The children’s creative side shone through with clay leaves, pompom acorns and colourful painting.
And to top it all off? We cooked crab apples over the fire and dipped them in homemade jam and sprinkles – the perfect sweet ending to two days of woodland fun.
A huge thank you to my wonderful helpers for their support and inspiration, and to all the parents and carers for making the club possible by bringing the children along.
🌿 Bookings are now open for our October Half Term sessions on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th October – come and join the adventure! Find out more here: https://eequ.org/book/wild-wood-holiday-club-with-charlotte-atkinson-1278

It was lovely to welcome so many children, families and a diverse range of teddies 🧸🦖🦈 to Charlotte’s Wood yesterday for our annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic 🧺. The children loved exploring all the woodland had to offer from spotting hiding bears and foraging for food to relaxing in a hammock with their teddy. We finished with a picnic and story followed by games of hide and seek - a lovely morning full of fun and laughter!

Days 3 and 4 of Wild Wood Holiday Club 🍃🎨🔥
The past two days at holiday club were full of creativity, colour and woodland adventure! 🌿 Alongside the usual building of dens and bases, hanging around in hammocks and whittling of wands / woodland weapons 🛖🪵, the children came up with loads of ideas for imaginative activities.
They experimented with natural dyes for painting 🎨 – blending herbs and rose petals into perfumes and potions 🌸🧪. They made delicious plum jam enjoyed with dampers cooked over the fire 🔥🍞.
Everyone got along so well and we were supported by an amazing team of helpers 🙌. I’m really looking forward to our final two days of club next week! 🌞

The highlight of this week’s holiday club for me was today’s Woodland Olympics - an idea that the children came up with and then planned from start to finish. Events included archery and javelin throwing, a cross country race and even a pine cone throwing competition! They even made medals that were awarded for things like bravery and perseverance! 🍂🎯
So lovely to see the children’s creativity, teamwork and such positive sportsmanship. A brilliant reminder that the best ideas often come from the kids 💚✨

Food Safety in the Wild! 🌿🥕🍳🔥 
I had the pleasure of being invited to run a Level 2 Outdoor Food Safety course in partnership with ‘Where the Fruit Is’ in Oxfordshire on Saturday.

Participants used active learning approaches to explore key food safety messages - then put it all into practice by preparing, cooking, eating and washing up outdoors.

✨ If you cook with groups outside, why not join my next course on this course on 19th November at Charlotte’s Wood, Wilby, Suffolk? For more information and to book go to: https://eequ.org/book/level-2-outdoor-food-safety-with-charlotte-atkinson-7129

✨🧚‍♀️ Elf & Fairy Party Magic 🧚‍♂️✨
 What a truly enchanting morning in Charlotte’s Wood! It was such a joy to welcome both familiar and new faces to our final Little Woodies session of the season.

Wings fluttered, wands sparkled and even a skeleton dinosaur made an appearance! The children had a wonderful time exploring the woodland for signs of elves and fairies - peeking behind tiny doors in hopes of spotting a little friend.

They crafted beautiful wands, crowns, fairy companions and their own magical doors to take home and place in their gardens. We ended with fairy cakes, a story and special certificates for those heading off to school in September 🎓🌟

Thank you so much to all the parents, carers and grandparents for your amazing support this year and a huge shoutout to Emma 🐝 and John for their help throughout the sessions.

That’s it from the Little Woodies until 12th September - but don’t forget our Teddy Bears’ Picnic on 8th August! 🧸🌳 https://eequ.org/book/teddy-bears-picnic-with-charlotte-atkinson-1352
