Learning Through Play and Song
At FireFly Forest School, we believe that learning should feel like play. Songs like The Wheels on the Bus invite children to explore, move, and communicate while feeling safe and joyful. The laughter that fills the classroom when the kids shout “The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep!” is what learning through love truly sounds like. ?
This video, recorded with the children at FireFly and produced in collaboration with P’OA at OA Studio and videographer Guy Phumin Poomsri, captures the heart of what FireFly is all about—curiosity, connection, and joy through creativity.
