Woodland welcomes this week included: Sparkling frost, crunchy leaves, a little robin in the play area, my frosty breath.

There were some eagle eyed nature spotters this week. They managed to find a very tiny Jelly Ear Fungi and remembered that it was most likely growing on Elder wood.

There was some excellent den building with great team work and problem solving.

A small group embarked on making whisks out of the top whorl of their Christmas trees. They showed real resilience and tenacity keeping with this on such a chilly day. It was had and sticky work.

Take a look at this week's photos here.
