Last spot remaining for a two-day longbow making workshop next weekend!

*Run by Rob Foxcroft, friend of Bramblings Forest School CIC and coordinator of our amazing archery sessions!*

6th & 7th April.
9am-6pm.
Nailsworth, nr Stroud, Glos.

£100 off (£150 total) with discount code ‘100OFF’

_Over two days, you’ll learn the theory of efficient bow design, the principles of material selection, how to mark up a template for a bow specific to your anatomy, how to rough-out the blank, the art of tillering [working the bow to allow it to bend evenly along its length], and how to finish it to perfection._

_You’ll also learn the rudiments of cordage allowing you to make a flemish twist string to pair with your bow, meaning you’ll leave with a fully functioning, bespoke bow entirely of your own creation!_

_Camping available for those who wish._

Book via link below or call Rob on 07915 669 435

Build your own bow! Join us for an immersive weekend of longbow making. Two-day courses available throughout the year or commission one of your own. Local to Bristol & Stroud.

Rob, Maisy and I have been busy in anticipation of our half term holiday sessions next week!

Rob has been hard at work creating a prototype and preparing materials for our Trebuchet build day.

We also spent Saturday afternoon erecting a new permanent shelter as we approach the colder/wetter months.

Maisy has been busy collecting sticks and counting down the days until kids are back at Bramblings!

We still have places available for all of our sessions next week. Parents are also welcome (if you have already taken the week off work), and will receive a 50% discount voucher as a thank you if you come to help out!

Anyone booking into these half term sessions will also receive a 10% voucher for a future session.

See www.bookwhen.com/bramblingsforestschool for booking details.

A fantastic week at Bramblings!

Dutch oven pizzas, smores and jaffa orange brownies (in the embers) filled our tummies. The kids also made some of the best dens I have ever seen.....creativity, teamwork and perserverance in abundance. We also whittled some butter spreaders, practised our fire lighting skills and played plenty of games too!

A big thank you to everyone who made this week possible!

A lovely day in the woods yesterday!

I had lots of possible activities 'up my sleeve', but the children wanted to make a luxury den (complete with fern mattress and outdoor swimming pool) so I instead helped them learn some sawing skills and provided some sustenance from the campfire (marshmallows and hot chocolate)!

This is one of the many things that I love about Forest School; a session's direction is determined by the dynamics of the group and the interests of each child....every session is completely different.

In return, I got some incredible seasonal wildflowers from the kids for my hat decoration 🌻🌿🪻
