Even in January, the Glendalough woodland is full of life! Our pupils discovered deer tracks, identified winter tree species by bark, and learned about hibernating insects. Nature has no off-season!
Our Forest School sessions continued through January with some of our most exciting outdoor learning yet. Wrapped up warm and full of curiosity, our pupils headed into the Glendalough woodland to discover what winter has to offer.
Highlights included finding fresh deer tracks in the soft ground near the treeline, identifying six different tree species by their bark and winter silhouette, and learning about which insects hibernate and where they shelter during the cold months.
Forest School reminds us that nature is always alive and always teaching — even in the depths of winter. A special thanks to our Forest School coordinator for making these sessions such a wonderful part of school life.
