How does Forest School fit into the curriculum?
Forest School leaders plan sessions according to the children's ages and needs. They match learning objectives to skills and knowledge that they feel the children will benefit from. They will also make cross-curricular links in order to bring Forest school back into the classroom. Sessions range widely from bug-hunting, making shelters, designing 3D sculptures to mixing mud pies! Forest School sessions involve adult input and child exploration. Children are shown how to use hand tools and equipment safely then apply them to tasks
The children are also encouraged to observe and reflect on the nature around them and respond to the awe and wonder of their world. Forest School gives children another opportunity to think about their spirituality and their place on our amazing Earth.
