Forest School is an innovative, child led approach to outdoor play and learning. Research shows that children benefit from being outdoors and at Forries Education we encourage children to have adventures and take responsibilities. They develop confidence and resilience by learning how best to take risks, cooperate, negotiate and compromise with each other whilst stretching their legs as well as their imagination. In reality, that means outdoor fun, tools, mud and dens and lots of climbing fallen trees in the rain and snow.

About Holiday Forest School Session

We will play lots of games, build dens, make some environmental art, make things using our wide range of tools and just have fun!

Children need to be dressed for the weather (layers, waterproofs and wellies or stout boots for cold weather) and are required to bring their own packed snack and a drink.

What is Forest School?

Forest School is an innovative, child led approach to outdoor play and learning.

This ethos of outdoor learning started in Scandinavia and is growing in popularity in the UK. It is fun and unhurried. It is focused on process not product.

Research shows that children benefit from being outdoors and at Forries Education we encourage children from Early Years to Key Stage 2 (3 to 11 years old for non-teacher folk, though we had children from 18 months join us) to have adventures and take responsibilities.

They develop confidence and resilience by learning how best to take risks, cooperate, negotiate and compromise with each other whilst stretching their legs as well as their imagination.

In reality, that means outdoor fun, tools, mud and dens and lots of climbing fallen trees in the rain and snow.
