With God’s love, we seek adventure with our minds and find a home for our hearts
Some comments from our Year 5s:
I think that Forest School is very educational for people and is very adventurous. And crafty!
Oscar
I think Forest School is one of the most fun things in the world because it’s got lots of things you can do. I’d like a few more sessions though.
Timothy
I thought Forest School was amazing! Better than it was at my old school!

Forest School Reflections
Blackbirds and thrushes sing in the forest,
When you’re running you can see the tallest trees.
The dens we build are humungous,
On logs, there is long, disgusting fungus,
In the summer, bees zoom across.
By Ashton, Harrison, Oscar and Timothy

Freezing!
Oh, so fantastic!
Respect property and wildlife,
Exciting Friday afternoons,
Saws
Teamwork.
Singing birds,
Clove hitch knot
Have fun with friends
Obstacle course over trees,
Oh, how cool and amazing!
Lovely, marvellous hot chocolate with biscuits!

Impact of COVID-19 March-July 2020
Unfortunately, official Forest School sessions were curtailed due to the pandemic and lockdown, however, the children who still attended school throughout the remainder of the Spring and Summer terms, utilised the outside areas and environments as much as possible. Many enjoyable experiences and activities were shared in and around Wonderwood, and we were blessed with such amazing weather for the most part!
Such outdoor learning opportunities are so beneficial to the emotional health and wellbeing of our children.
We are looking forward to resuming our Forest School sessions again, as soon as possible, in the new term ahead.
