Our Holiday Forest School programme is a mainstay of the school holidays at Get Out More. We’ve been running programmes in all seasons in an all outdoor setting since 2010, so we’ve had plenty of questions about how it works and how we keep children safe. Which is why we have compiled a collection of the most frequently asked questions and put them together in this blog post!
“Robin” by pauljeffery59
‘A crow in a crowd is a rook and a rook on its own is a crow’
After many conversations in our house about why the birds weren’t frequenting the bird feeders in our garden, this past week has allowed us to get back on ‘bird track’. There has been a lot to notice. Tuesday saw the first visitor to the feeder – a robin. It was strange to see its cautious movements around the garden before it dared to make a dash for one rushed mouthful of seeds; hardly even stilling its wings before flying off again to the safety of the hedge.

What a summer of magic it has been; the days were long, the sun shone and we had a full programme of forest school and outdoor play happening across Yorkshire. The long hot summer brought all the generations outdoors to summer events and it was great to meet so many of our existing clients and make new ones at our stand at the Great Yorkshire Show in July. When our term time programmes in Bradford and Dewsbury came to an end, we switched straight over to the holiday schedule and were busy all summer long with our popular holiday forest schools and community programmes.
