Forest School
Forest school is a distinct way of learning in an outdoor/forest area where children have the opportunity to develop their self-esteem, confidence and social and communication skills whilst also developing practical skills to encourage curiosity and exploration.
The children had a fantastic time planting trees at the Infants’ site! This hands-on activity helped them develop a love of nature, teamwork, responsibility, and practical gardening skills. Working alongside Mersey Forest, they contributed to creating a brand-new woodland area, helping to make our school grounds even greener and more inviting. What a wonderful way to learn while getting their hands (and wellies!) muddy!
During these sessions, the children will be introduced to handling wood, tools and other equipment in a carefully planned and safe environment.
All activities have been risk assessed so that the children can learn in a fun, but a safe way.
