Forest school is a unique method of child-initiated outdoor learning. Our aim is to inspire children through positive outdoor experiences.  They will connect with nature and further develop mindfulness and spirituality. Children will have the opportunity to learn about the natural environment, how to handle risks and most importantly to use their own initiative to solve problems and co-operate with others. The children will use their own initiative to solve problems and co-operate with others. The children will use full-sized tools, play, learn boundaries of behaviour, both physical and social, grow in confidence and self-esteem and become self-motivated. 

Forest school builds on a child's innate motivation and positive attitude to learning, offering the opportunities to take risks, make choices and initiate learning themselves.  The Forest school learning provides opportunities for children to develop self-esteem, self-confidence, to form positive relationships with others, to develop a growing awareness of their emotional needs and the needs of others, to learn to cooperate and work with their peers and adults and to develop strategies in order to take risks within the boundaries of safety.

Forest school takes place every Thursday morning 9:30 - 11am in our school woodland area. We ask children to bring in a pair of wellie boots that are named and can be kept in the nursery for wet play and forest school sessions. We provide each child with an all-in-one waterproof wetsuit.
