What Is Forest School?
What should you expect a child to do at Forest School?
Freedom. Given space and time to discover what they enjoy and are interested in
Using tools. Learning new skills which allow them to challenge themselves
Natural resources. Recognise and appreciate nature, the environment and resources it provides
Repeating play and activities. Growing their understanding, skills and confidence so they can then help and teach others
Encountering risk. Becoming aware of risks so they aren’t afraid, learning to trust their own judgements to look after themselves and others
Playing. Alone or with others, developing their own morals, values and social skills
