I love this Ogham learning resource from Outdoor & Woodland Learning Scotland (OWL Scotland)
This super resource can be used to support learning across several different curricular areas and promoted outdoor learning.

I just came across this news article from a few years ago about a village that created a homemade water wheel to power the village's Christmas lights. What a great example of innovation for sustainability.

I love the sound of the "Pokémaths: The Maths of Pokémon" session.
What a beautiful autumnal day for our Halloween themed session at Angus Forest School today. There was careful tool use to carve these fantastic pumpkins and lots of creativity on show. The kids really enjoyed the no hands doughnut 🍩 challenge as well 🎃☺️
