Yesterday's shot of the wood carving of the bird showed only a small part of a large throne like structure in the teaching area of Crow Wood at Danby Moors Centre. Obviously designed to give the teacher status, while the pupils sat on the benches! The bird in yesterday's shot is at the upper right hand corner of the seat.
Lots of activities are available in Crow Wood. There is a bird hide, a collection of miniature houses belonging to the 'Woodlings', and at the visitor centre a book to tell their story. Pupils have also built a large shelter from tree branches. So much to attract the attention of pupils.
Thank you all for your lovely comments, they are very much appreciated.
This location is used by lots of school parties and others, and makes good use of the learning opportunities that Crow Wood and the moors centre provide. I have long thought that Forest Schools were a good idea, and our youngest grandaughter has been at a forest nursery in London. It is amazing how much she has learned in the open air environment.
I have been to the centre at Pinchinthorpe, and walked much of the former railway branch line, but that was many years ago and I'm sure it will have developed a lot since then - perhaps it's time I paid another visit, since the Moorsbus goes past the entrance!

Love the way this is maintained. Looks so natural
Thank you Nina - I'm sure the children who are taught here will love it!
