Forest School
We have been using part of the back fields of the school to run a forest school for the students.
Forest school helps the children
- Develop self-regulation skills
- Cope with and learn from failure
- Build resilience (the skill of coping with risk and failure)
- Gain a sense of achievement
- Increase motivation and concentration
- Improve problem solving
- Develop turn taking skills
- Participate in group work
The children have worked hard and enjoy activities such as:
- Making mini fires
- Cooking on open fires
- Making mud monsters/creations
- Understand that knives are a tool not a weapon
- Basic forest school whittling




It’s a relaxed atmosphere that allows the children to interact with each other and engage in activities outside.
