Wood Mouse Forest School
Weekly outdoor sessions for toddlers and pre-schoolers in our beautiful woodland near Petersfield.
Forest School allows all children to learn and develop through playing regularly in the natural environment. They will have opportunities to learn new skills and time to explore the woodland and build relationships. Forest School happens over time. If children attend regularly it develops their motivation, stamina and motor skills. It also supports emotional and social development, and increases confidence. Each child will get the chance to develop their own interests within the Forest School setting. The activities will change with the seasons. You will experience . . .
All safely managed by our qualified and experienced Forest School Instructor. |
