Then I look at the photos from the session and I remember that yes indeed it was a rainy day, at least in part. That we chose the practice coracle, now a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having made sixty ground loom pegs, I was determined to get some use out of them so I carted the whole lot down to the woods for this week’s Babes in the Woods sessions. But what about a story? Something with weaving spiders? Rumplestiltskin? Sheep&#8230;Marsden sheep. The Marsden Rainbow Ram. There are strange creatures roaming [...]]]></description>

The workshop took place over the course of the morning with two classes, years four and three taking part. Each class was introduced to the idea of weaving on a big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To prevent horse incursion through the fire circle I set up “THE HORSE WALL”. This proved to be a great source of interest to the children who couldn’t wait to help me supplement it with sticks gathered from around the site. As with yesterday’s session my cunning plan of occupying the grownups while children played [...]]]></description>

That said no one seemed to notice as we played the bridge drum with sticks and stones and crossed over despite the waiting troll. Out came the Billy goats once again and one by one they talked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I met the group just inside the woods and  at the first suitable clearing we stopped to talk about keeping safe in the woods. Rather than throw the conversation open I asked each child in turn and all were able to contribute something. Sometimes in a surprising amount of detail. Children are starting to embellish [...]]]></description>
