A Little About Us...
Forest school is the magical place where magic can start to happen as imagination, self-confidence and vocabulary start to grow. Every visit to the forest will be the same place but the story will change week by week as amazing memories are made and learning develops.
In forest school all children are given the opportunity to access, experience and enjoy
learning in the outside environment. Forest school follows a holistic approach that encourages
children’s imaginations, build’s self-esteem and creates the desire to understand, learn and respect the natural world around them. Through exploration and discovery the children are able to enjoy and self-initiate their own learning.
In forest school children are able to take calculated risks in a controlled environment. They are given the opportunity and responsibility under supervision, to use tools and help be part of a team, creating a fire to keep them warm and cook food. Every child is valued and their input is vital.
