Come to the woods!

Come to the woods!

You are all welcome to come to the woods on Wednesday at 10 for a two hour session with me.
We follow a nature trail and perhaps hunt for little creature like ladybirds or spiders...perhaps even an imaginary bear!
It is a Parent and Child session, but carers and grandpas come too, with children of all ages, especially in the school's summer holiday.
We gather in a lovely secret area by a den, sit by the logs and make nature crafts, then we sing songs and tell strories and play games.
We all bring some food to share and a blanket to sit on. Rain or shine we come prepared!
The session is £4 per child

The next session on Wednesday 25th of July
We meet at 9.45 am by the big oak tree by the black bench between the car park and the cafe.

Now some images for you-this is what we did last time:

We picked some leaves and made leaf 'art' !

Come and enjoy more lovely crafts and nature trail with us!

Susy made a Susy snail of course!!

Also Jo sang for us with her guitar...I loved all of the songs but Circle Game by Joni Mitchell was so nice, Jo has a beautiful voice!

here is a link to the original song, but I do think Jo's version was nicer!

Circle Game

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you’re older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we con only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
Coming true
There’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
