Tree School



One sunshiny afternoon last summer, Liam decided that he wanted to go to 'Tree School'. Soooo- using ropes, pillows and blankets, I made these cocoon-like seats in our willow trees. I made one for each child. They took their books and sketchbooks to Tree school and spent all day learning in their little nests.

Tansy spent the afternoon reading about Greek mythology. In her sketchbook she illustrated each story in pencil. Tristan thought it would be appropriate to take a book about monkeys to his tree school. She spent the afternoon looking at monkey pictures and pretending to be one.
