Forestry, food and fun! These are some photos from our recent team morning of nature, mindfulness and teamwork based in the beautiful woodland copse at Sirona. The forest shelter in our copse was the perfect venue for this activity. Our new Forest School leader Jade created a fabulous activity morning for the team starting with a lovely introduction - a short meditation followed by a wellbeing story about dragons! Soon we were off foraging for firewood followed by a lesson on campfire building, lighting and safety. The team then all had a go at woodland crafts working with wool and branches to create eye-catching natural art, and clay modelling from 'real' clay dug out of the ground on the estate. Then in true outdoor style we cooked our lunch on the cob grill before heading back to the office and animal care. The summer holidays at Sirona are a chance to catch up on general repairs and admin as well as a little time for team building and practicing new skills ready for the new Autumn term. Thanks Jade for a fun and informative team morning; we hope the new Nature-Based sessions will be a popular additional activity we can offer participants.
