Forest School

Our Year 3/4 class absolutely love their time at Forest School! Each session gives the children the opportunity to step outdoors, explore nature, and learn through hands-on experiences in a safe and supportive environment. 

Forest School encourages curiosity, teamwork, and resilience. Through activities such as den building, exploring natural materials, imaginative play, and learning how to manage risks safely, the children develop confidence, independence, and physical skills. Working together outdoors also helps strengthen friendships, communication, and problem-solving skills and a deep connection to the environment while improving mental well-being, focus, and social skills, making learning holistic and fun. 

We have seen our Year 3/4 children become calmer, more focused, and increasingly proud of their achievements. Forest School supports the whole child—mind, body, and wellbeing—and is a valued and much-loved part of our learning journey.
