School Trips
Welcome to our Forest School Programmes, where children embark on a journey of discovery, play, and hands-on learning in the great outdoors. Our programs are designed to immerse kids in the wonders of nature, fostering a love for the environment while developing essential life skills. From investigating the natural world to engaging in tool work and hammocking, our Forest Adventues offers a holistic approach to outdoor education.
Investigating and Playing in Nature
Children are naturally curious, and our Forest School Programs harness this curiosity by providing endless opportunities for investigation and play. Through guided exploration, kids will:
Observe Wildlife: Learn about the local flora and fauna, identifying different species of plants, insects, and animals.
Nature Trails: Embark on nature trails where they can discover hidden treasures like animal tracks, bird nests, and unique plant formations.
Sensory Exploration: Engage their senses by touching different textures, listening to the sounds of the forest, and smelling various plants.
Tools for Exploration
To truly connect with their environment, children need the right tools. Our Forest School equips them with safe, child-friendly tools that encourage exploration and creativity:
Magnifying Glasses: For a closer look at insects, leaves, and other small natural wonders.
Binoculars: To observe birds and other wildlife from a distance.
Field Guides: Kid-friendly books that help identify plants, animals, and insects they encounter.
Hammocking: Relaxation and Observation
Hammocking is a favourite activity at Forest Adventures. It offers children a chance to relax, observe, and connect with nature from a
different perspective:
Set-Up Skills: Kids learn how to set up their own hammocks, fostering independence and
problem-solving.
Mindfulness: Hammocking encourages moments of calm and mindfulness, as children lie back and take in the sights and sounds of the forest.
Social Time: It also provides a unique space for social interaction, as children can chat and bond while gently swaying in their hammocks.
Outdoor Skill Building
Tool Work: Building Confidence and Skills
Engaging in tool work is a cornerstone of our Forest School Programmes. It empowers children with practical skills and a sense of accomplishment:
Basic Tools: Under close supervision, kids use simple tools like hammers, saws, and hand drills to create and build.
Woodworking Projects: Children can work on small projects, such as building birdhouses, crafting simple shelters, or creating nature-inspired art.
Safety First: Safety is our top priority. Each child is taught proper tool handling and safety procedures to ensure a secure learning environment.
