2 September 2025 Introduction to forest school for new class

This was the first time doing a forest school session with my new class. Today’s focus was on teaching boundaries/ whistle rules and learning how to use the garden differently. Our topic is ‘our body’ so my focus in the garden was keeping our body fit and safe. The children had the opportunity to make an obstacle course with natural materials and use the trim trail, create meals in the mud kitchen (some used plums fallen from the tree to mush up and mix with mud and grass), build homes for their team to fit inside and use natural materials to create their name or age.
