**At Forest School this week,  the children in EYFS fully immersed themselves in the wonders of the changing seasons, sharpening their observational skills while hunting for **signs of spring** like emerging snowdrops and budding leaves. This sense of discovery carried over to the **mud kitchen**, where they collaborated to "cook" imaginative recipes, mixing textures and natural ingredients with high levels of **teamwork**. One of the most significant challenges was learning to strike a **flint and steel** to ignite cotton wool; this task demanded immense **resilience** and **perseverance**, as children had to try repeatedly before seeing that first successful spark. Through these hands-on experiences, they not only connected with nature but also built the inner strength and social cooperation essential for their early development.**
