From wet, cold mornings; to dry, bright, beautiful ones – the children in EYFS have made the most of every moment in our amazing forest. This weekly adventure has helped develop the children’s skills in various areas of the early year curriculum; from Personal Social Emotional Development (being confident to try new activities and explore new environments as well as managing their own personal needs by changing into their forest clothes), Understanding The World (exploring the natural world surrounding them). The children have too been able to witness and understand important processes and changes in the natural world around them, including seasons and changes in the weather.
The children have proved to be excellent stewards of the environment particularly on these visits and took great pride when planting our very own trees. They have shown amazing care and attention to the vast wildlife surrounding us, along with the plants and trees too.
This year, the parent’s of our children have been extremely generous with their time and efforts as they helped Mr Mckaye develop the new area of the forest school. This took a lot of time, energy and hard work and we would like to thank you for your support in doing this. This term, we have thoroughly enjoyed parents accompanying us down to the forest and joining in with their children’s learning and development – thank you!
