We are fortunate to have lots of green spaces around our school. At the back of the school, on the horizon, you can see the wonderful views of the countryside.
Our EYFS children will experience a Forest School session each week.
The focus for their Forest School is within the EYFS curriculum.
We will focus upon the Knowledge and Understanding of the world, physical development and language development. We will also focus upon developing the children’s confidence, resilience , risk taking, self esteem and vocabulary.
Other year groups will be able to experience the great outdoors through their learning.
Hazel class had a fantastic first ‘Forest school’ session! The children went searching in the forest for facts about Hazel trees. They even all gave a hazel nut a try! After that they went and tried to identify the trees in the forest using their tree ID dials. They were very excited to discover a horse chestnut and can’t wait for the conkers to arrive!
We used our first tool, a palm drill, to make a name necklace. The children worked really well together and persevered as it was very challenging making the hole for the string. The children are very excited for their next forest school activity.
Isabela M- ‘I enjoyed learning facts about my class name and trying a hazel nut was very exciting.’
Kyle T- ‘It was very challenging to make the name necklace but I was very happy to see what I had made by the end of the activity.’
Here are some of the EYFS children taking part in many different activities such as putting up a tent and creating mud portraits.
