Forest Schools is learning in a woodland environment from hands-on experiences, this can range from outdoor play, using tools, building dens, fire lighting, cooking, woodland games and crafts and other outdoor activities which are both designed by the leader and instigated by the children themselves.
The Forest School Programme provides opportunities for children, young people and communities, with different abilities and cultural backgrounds, to explore our natural environment, play, learn and socialise together. As the children journey through Forest School, building a sense of independence, high self-esteem and improve social/communication skills are important parts of the programme as well as developing a broader understanding of the natural environment in which they live.
The next 6 week programme will start on Saturday 6th April. For your child to get the best out of the Forest School Programme we recommend they attend all six sessions.
