Forest School sessions have started at St George's this half term. Forest School operates on the principle that children of all ages can benefit greatly from the hands-on learning opportunities inherently present in a woodland environment. In an age when many children have few opportunities to be outdoors, it offers them a way to learn and experience a broad curriculum in a woodland setting, with regular visits throughout the year. Outdoor learning is essential for the healthy development of all children.
Learning outside offers opportunities to build on and extend skills taught and acquired inside. It also offers the chance to take on new challenges and risks to investigate in a different way. The sessions take place in the local woodland or on the school field every Monday afternoon.
The sessions are led by Mrs Thomson, who is a qualified Forest School Leader (Level 3 OCN).
