Forest School Update

Adventure Awaits at Forest School! 

Our young explorers have been swapping the classroom for the canopy this week! From the crackle of the campfire to the squelch of the mud, Forest School is where the real magic happens.

This Week’s Highlights:

  • Mastering the Flame: Our Year 4s demonstrated incredible maturity while learning campfire safety and toasting the perfect golden marshmallows! 

  • Whittling Wonders: After passing their safety checks, students tried their hand at greenwood whittling, turning simple branches into works of art. 🔪✨

  • Forest Engineering: We’ve seen some incredible teamwork, from building "shelters" for lost forest critters to constructing ramps for our big wheel races!

  • Not forgetting the log-lifting competition on Tuesday.

Why we love outdoor learning:

Forest School isn’t just about getting muddy (though that is a bonus!). It’s where our pupils build:

  1. Resilience by tackling physical challenges.

  2. Confidence through tool-use and safety skills.

  3. Empathy by caring for our local environment.
