January 2025 - Forest School Fun

Class: Rainbow Room Year: 2024 - 2025

New year, new experiences in our amazing Forest School, Robin Wood!

Forest School is an ethos which encourages the development of children’s emotional and physical development through outdoor play, activities and exploration in a natural environment.

Originally a concept developed in Denmark, children attending Forest Schools were found to have developed strong social skills, the ability to work in groups effectively and generally had high esteem and confidence in their own capabilities.
