                 FOREST SCHOOL




Forest School is a child-centred inspirational learning process, that offers opportunities for holistic growth through regular sessions. It is a long-term program that supports play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting.

Crick Primary School Reception love going to Forest School, held weekly in the Woodlands. Some of the things enjoyed are bark and leaf rubbing, swinging in the hammock, making potions, lying on the ground and appreciating the world around us, making dens, digging in and rolling down the compost heap, using loppers and secateurs safely to cut branches, making tipis for woodland creatures and playing lots of games! The children have become more and more confident as the weeks have gone on.

DUKE of EDINBURGH AWARDS




Participating to achieve their awards, as part of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, local young people are actively encouraged to help maintain and develop the woodlands, liasing and engaging with our regular volunteers. A variety of activities include litter picking, removing redundant tree guards, controlling blackthorn, creating wildlife corridors such as dead hedges and sowing new wildflower areas to promote additional bio-diversity.
