Forest Schools at South Normanton Nursery School

Working together we learn to live

Your child will journey into the forest, guided by Forest Faith, the forest fairy. They will have a fantastic time over the course of the term, learning about looking after the forest and each other.

What is Forest Schools?

Forest Schools is an educational approach to outdoor learning and play which encourages and inspires children.

The forest-based activities are interesting, achievable and lots of fun. They motivate children and help them to develop new skills which can be transferred into their everyday lives.

What we are learning?

The aims of the sessions are to raise children’s awareness of the environment and how to care for it. In addition, activities encourage their language skills, collaborative play and problem-solving in a small group situation, whilst having lots of fun and learning new things about the forest.
