FOREST SCHOOL

Learning in the Natural Environment

 

We focus on five important life skills: independence, teamwork, responsibility, communication and resilience.  From this firm foundation, all other learning can spring from. We teach practical bushcraft skills, from safe fire lighting to campfire cooking and safe use of tools; playing active games; as well as exploring nature and the seasons. We haven’t found anything we can’t teach outside - from Vikings to rhythm and music-making, and from poetry and storytelling to science experiments and maths in the mud kitchen, to map making and natural artwork and crafts. Children learn to be attuned to the natural world and look after our shared space and get a great deal out of the contribution that we can all make.
