Forest School
Children in Pre-School are offered at least six weeks of Forest School sessions. These sessions take place at Parkwood once a week for around 2 hours.
Forest School is based upon the Scandinavian concept of 'free air life'. The ethos of Forest School is a child-centred learning process that inspires children though play, exploration and supported risk-taking. It inspires children to undertake hands-on learning experiences in a natural setting and builds confidence and self-esteem through regular play sessions.
Forest School is firmly aimed at sparking children's curiosity with the world around them, building an awareness and connection with the natural world and using their outdoor environment to develop important life skills. It also gives children a chance to make connections and to experience fun and challenging activities away from the lure of the electronic world they are growing up in.
