Through exploring their surroundings, discovering wildlife, using natural materials and taking part in practical activities, children learn through play and first-hand experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Forest School also supports children to develop important life skills. They are encouraged to make choices, solve problems, work together and try new things, helping to build resilience and self-confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Whether they are building, collecting, creating or simply discovering something new, every Forest School session provides opportunities for children to explore at their own pace and enjoy the natural world around them.<\/p>\n<p>Forest School is about learning through doing, discovering through exploring and growing in confidence along the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We are currently in the process of recruiting a dedicated Forest School Lead and look forward to creating exciting opportunities for the children to learn, explore and grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221;
