Forest Schools

What is Forest School?

Forest School is holistic learning through play and exploration; children learn about the natural environment, how to handle risks and to use their own initiative to solve problems and cooperate with others. The nurturing environment encourages children to develop a positive relationship with the outdoor, natural world

During Forest School sessions children will build a shelter, light a fire and use green woodworking skills to create and build objects from the woodland around them. They will use full size tools; learn the boundaries of behaviour, both physical and social and establish and grow in confidence, self-esteem and motivation.
