Forrest School

Forest School sessions will be held in Middle Gully in (almost) all weather! Underpinned by the saying “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing,” and following the lead of the Scandinavian practise, we will be exploring Middle Gully every week in various ways, throughout the year. The Forest School philosophy aims for long term, holistic development of children: physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and intellectually. Coupled with the Science Curriculum, this child-led approach with clear boundaries and expectations, will encourage children to develop independence and confidence in their ability to explore and observe the world around them. Many of the activities will be creative and open-ended, with a strong focus on walking gently and with curiosity in our natural environment. Family participation will be welcomed, particularly when fire and cooking are involved, and expert tadpole catchers will be sought seasonally! Please get in touch if you would like to be involved!
