We often share the muddy play, the climbing, the discoveries. But this week’s favourite moment was quieter: a child perched on a stump, gazing into the trees, telling us he was “just chillin.”

Outdoors gives children space not only to move, but to settle. A pause in the woods isn’t empty time — it’s children processing their day, feeling grounded, and finding their own comfort. These moments of stillness remind us that learning doesn’t always look busy.

A 10 second Pause : Wherever you are, take 10 seconds to stop and notice: “What can I hear right now?” It’s a simple way to bring a little calm into the rush of daily life.
