 Forest School

|

 We are very fortunate to have Forest School provision adjacent to Forest Children’s Centre. Forest School is used as part of the curriculum for children in Nursery, Duffryn Infants and Juniors.
The site is kept safe and clean by our Dads Group, other volunteers and Keep Wales Tidy.
The Dads Group won the Keep Wales Tidy Woodland Award in 2009 for their continued hard work within the Forest School.
The Forest School is home to our wonderful Easter Egg Hunts and camp/wood craft skills, organised by the Dads Group.

 Forest School
|
|
Forest School is an innovative and inspiring approach to learning and development which offers people of all ages opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences during regular visits to a local woodland site (ours is on the school grounds).
Forest School provides opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to grow in confidence, self-esteem and independence in special woodland settings, where they are supported in their development by qualified FS Practitioners.

What makes forest school distinct from other education approaches is its focus on repeat visits to the same woodland site, and focus on small achievable tasks to ensure that the experience is enabling. Sessions are flexible and user-led, and with a high leader-to-participant ratio individual learning styles can be fully supported. Participants build up relationships with staff and with peers, exploration and play are encouraged, and teamwork and co-operation are nurtured.
Participants develop and nurture respect and responsibility for themselves, other people and the environment in a truly empowering experience, which is also exciting, healthy and fun!
