Forest school sessions for schools

Let's get outside of the classroom!

Case study

​

Wild Wood Kids @ East Peckham Primary School September 2018/2019

​

Forest School..For those who haven’t heard of the concept, Forest school provides children with the opportunity to learn through play in a ‘woodland /outdoor’ setting. By spending time in nature a child is given time & space to make their own choices, decisions & and fun! Sessions are predominately child led.

​

Amongst the huge array of benefits that the playing and learning outdoors can provide for children, Forest School can encourage problem solving, decision making, develops confidence, self esteem & independence, creativity & practical skills and a deeper knowledge of the world the child lives in.

​

Having spent nearly a full school year with the Robins, I have watched as the children have developed and honed their confidence, their knowledge of flora & fauna and have learnt how to manage their own risk by knowing their boundaries and limitations.

​

I look forward to working with the children again in year one and of course meeting our new Robins in September.

Forest School is about the development of confidence and self-esteem. Small achievements if they are self initiated can be very positive steps in confidence building.
