What a fantastic afternoon the Wise Owls had in Forest schools last Thursday.  Our woods are starting to show signs of spring, and looked lovely in the afternoon sun.  We all had to find a magic place by ourselves and sit quietly. We had to use 4 of our senses...... sight, touch, hearing and smell…
