Forest School
What is Forest School? An Introduction.
|
Forest Schools are nature-based learning where trained practitioners nurture learner-led exploration and discovery, nurturing meaningful experiences for positive lifelong impacts. Children learn to respect nature and experience outdoors in all weathers |
|
Wellbeing is the foundation of our practice and through recognising the social, emotional and physical needs of participants we provide the guidance and facilitation for our time in nature. Through creating learner inspired experiences based on exploration and discovery. The Forest school leader will work around children’s interests and abilities. |
|
In developing Forest school approach, we nurture a culture based on collaboration and of embracing challenge so that we can allow, over time, for the blossoming of character, resilience and empathy, and for a greater sense of connection, with nature and for our shared future. |
We are aiming to give all children in Elizabeth Selby the opportunity to experience Forest school and outdoor learning opportunities. We try to make the most of the space available. The children have opportunities to interact with the school pets during these sessions. The children experience den making, camp fires, mud kitchen, and using tools.
The sessions are planned around year group age and current topic.
