In our Forest School sessions, children participate in a variety of outdoor activities, including bug hunting and identification, shelter building, construction, outdoor cooking over an open fire and using tools.

Our aims are:

• to give children opportunities to explore the outdoors and experience the natural world at close hand
• to build children's confidence and self-esteem
• to encourage children to try new things and develop new skills
• to improve communication and social skills
• to improve problem solving and resilience
