Forest School uses resources supplied by nature such as sticks, mud, moss, feathers, leaves, and berries, but we are not able to keep taking from our small woodland without causing a negative effect to it and its inhabitants. If you can help by donating any equipment please get in touch.

We appreciate any help by supplying us with wood logs for burning on our campfire, wood sticks and branches to help the children to build dens, whittling, and wood workshops. Stumps and trunks are used for seating and work benches - our current ones have begun to rot away and are needing to be replaced. 

The Apple Grove Shelter has felt roofing that was damaged this year in the storms. We would love to have it re-felted to protect it for the future. The new entrance to the Woods/Nature Reserve really could do with a double gate, can you help with the supply and fit of one?

THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who has helped provide some

of the items we need for Forest School already!
 

• St. John's College (Bagley Wood) have donated 60 large stumps for the children to sit on. (we need more though). They also have given us fire logs to get us through some chilly afternoons this winter.

• B&M Home Stores in Abergavenny and B&M Home Stores in Abingdon kindly gave us discount to provide us with new fruit trees for the Jubilee Orchard.

• The Flower Shop in Elms Parade, Botley have been very kind by donating woodland bulbs to help our woodland grow.

• Friends of Botley School (FOBS) have donated gardening gloves and seeds as well as organising a £100 donation from Howdens Joinery. 

• Scott Fraser Estate Agents in Summertown are giving £250 voucher to Botley School for each sale that completes in the Botley area.
   
• Thank you to the person who sent us some items from our Amazon Wishlist! (Seeds, gloves, and a Whittling Tool Kit!) There wasn't a note to say who they were from but they are gratefully received. 

• Thank you for the lovely donation of English Bluebell seeds and Twine!

• Thank you for the 1kg bag of Vegan Marshmallows! These will bring lots of happy faces!

• A massive thank you for the mountain of Wood Chip delivered to the school field! It's been taken to the Woods already and has made a big difference! 
   
• Thank you for the Hammer and Nails - this will really help with Hand-Eye Co-ordination and Fine Motor Skills in sessions.
   
• Thank you for the huge amount of Dandies Marshmallows! That'll last a year!
   
• Thank you for the Rubber Mallets - these are great for the kids to use and help practice their hand-eye co-ordination.

Our Forest School has already benefited from this and will enrich the children's experiences.
