We know the Willow has a bit of growing to do before the houses, tunnel and discovery wall are complete. However, we couldn't resist taking the children up to the Forest Village today to show them. We are so glad that we did. The children were so excited about the new structures and it filled us with so much joy [...]
Last Friday we stood at the Stepping Stones class window and watched the tractor deliver and dump 8 tonne of wood bark to the Forest Village (thank you Travis Perkins). At which point it seemed absolutely crazy to not get the little ones geared up into their waterproofs and up to the space to get stuck in. The aim was [...]
After more hard work this weekend, the Forest Village is now well and truly clear, ready for the ground sheets and bark to go down. The boundaries have now also been laid out using fallen twigs and branches from the space. So far we haven't had to bring in anything new or take anything out, we've simply worked with what [...]
Hello and a very happy Wednesday to you. This is just a swift plea for more Forest Village helpers this Saturday, 9th November.

After our first full week last week, we are very happy to be back into the full swing of things. Last week our topic was 'Our Favourite Stories' and we have very much enjoyed reading lots [...]
With highs of 26 degrees expected this afternoon, the weather couldn't be any more different to what we have been experiencing over the last few weeks. And we welcome the sun with open arms. However, nothing stops us at Stepping Stones, come rain or shine. When the outdoor calls, out we must go. So last Wednesday, after enduring many a [...]

Hello and welcome to another Stepping Stones blog post, being sent to you all the way from Never Neverland. Since our last post the plan was to move on from the Peter Pan theme and start exploring Jack and the Beanstalk.
