Keeping cool during this summers heatwaves meant team games involving water became essential 💦
We played games like pass the water, drip drip splash and mermaid tag.
Not only did we keep cool, we made memories, practised teamwork, and experienced pure childhood joy 🌞

As many of you may know, Coach Nathan is a valued member of the AT Sports team. Last June, Nathan and his family suffered the heartbreaking loss of his sister.

To honour her memory, Nathan and his family will be taking part in a charity walk to raise money for Manchester Blood Bikes, a fantastic organisation that provides a vital service transporting blood, medical supplies and other essential items to hospitals and healthcare facilities across the region.

We are incredibly proud of Nathan for taking on this challenge in memory of his sister, and we would love to support him and his family in any way we can. If you are able to make a donation, no matter how small, it would be greatly appreciated and will help support the amazing work carried out by Manchester Blood Bikes.

Thank you for your support, kindness and generosity. Please help us get behind Coach Nathan and his family as they remember someone very special.

Please find link to donate in comments below.

Delighted to launch my dissertation research ‘In their Element: An Exploration of how the Forest School Environment Enables Practitioners with ADHD to Thrive’ 🌱

This comes from a place of personal reflection, networking and the feel for a real need into more research about adult neurodiversity within the field.

I would be so grateful if you could spread this far and wide so I can gather as many voices to represent our community as possible.

Thank you so much,

Josie 💚

Our adventurous Eagles had the most wonderful day at holiday club yesterday! We made refreshing fresh fruit ice lollies, learnt Makaton with Pam, created beautiful sun prints, pond dipped, made waterproof (or not!) dens and played a lot! We had a few new children joining the community yesterday, and the group was simply delightful with so many new friendships blossoming throughout the day 🥰
Thank you for playing the nature connected way with us ☀️ 🌱
