Abbotswood Primary School
Together We Aim High, Believe and Achieve
Forest Schools
At Abbotswood we offer forest school set in our large wildlife area, providing a unique learning experience for children with hands on activities, within the natural environment.
Through a child-led approach we are able to nurture and develop a child's self-esteem and confidence, allowing them to self-regulate, build resilience and develop skills in problem solving and communication, while fostering a love for nature and the natural world around them.
All forest school sessions are led by a qualified forest school leader (level 3) and take place in all weathers, including rain and snow. Therefore dressing in appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather is essential. Some activities include digging, tree climbing, team games, natural crafts, den building, bug hunting, fire making, water play, using loose parts and exploring.
