Forest Skills
​KS2

Join us in our bio-diverse woodlands for an engaging and interactive day, as pupils are guided by our Forest School trained leaders through some classic bushcraft tasks including; shelter building, fire lighting, tracking and craft activities such as chalk carving. 

Within this natural environment, there are a multitude of opportunities for pupils to develop their team work skills and boost their own confidence as a greater sense of belonging and self-esteem is introduced as they develop a respect for the wider world. 

Focused practical tasks cover a broad range of design technology, science, history and art topics and can be adapted to suit the school’s needs.

A Forest Skills day can act as an introduction to a full Forest School programme and will work well for visits where hands-on woodland activities and outdoor study are the main focus of the trip.
