Forest School

Our curriculum provides opportunities for children to develop and build their social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Through the provision of high quality Outdoor Education children of all ages reconnect with themselves, each other and the natural world.

Reconnecting our children with nature can have a positive impact on their social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and will provide them with rich and purposeful outdoor learning.

Welcome back to our Spring 1 Term. We are going to have a very exciting term in the Forest area with all the children in Reception. We are going to be making lots of different artwork based on Spring poems and books. We are going to be creating different woodland crafts and having lots of fun in the process. 

Being in the Forest area provides the Reception children with fantastic opportunities to develop their gross and fine motor skills while supporting their social and emotional needs. We play a wide variety of games that help develop the children's stamina, strengthen their core and balance and challenge them to use these skills collaboratively and independently.

We will also be working with Y2T in which we will be planting trees and creating a new area for the children to play in, while cooking and making lots of woodland crafts.

The Forest School sessions also give the children a lot of time and opportunities to socially interact with their peers and with adults, this time is priceless as it allows the children to feel free to discuss a wide range of things confidently and comfortably in a caring and nurturing environment that only nature and the outdoors can bring.
