Forest School

The group from Gilah’s Rising 4’s spend 6 weeks at Well End Scout Activity Centre with our Forest School leader Caroline from http://www.downthewoods.org to provided an unforgettable experience for the children.

Forest school provides the opportunity to learn in an outdoor environment. It develops confidence in most aspects of their learning, challenging them physically and mentally. Encouraging problem solving and critical thinking. The freedom to explore and investigate the natural environment individually and as part of a team has provided memorable activities that have left the children and parents asking for more.

Activities have included climbing, shelter building, puppet shows, investigating sounds, storytelling, singing, using torches and toasting marshmallows over a campfire.

“Yosef has loved EVERYTHING about forest school.  He just loves being outside and being able to dig in the mud and leaves and also to be independent.  His favourite things which he mentioned the most was the mudslide!” 
Lauren Carmel

“So pleased to see Aimee so happy and smiley.  I’m so pleased she has such a positive experience from Forest School.  I think her favourite thing to do has been making the dream catcher and toasting marshmallows. She has grown in confidence and I think has been a hugely beneficial experience.” 
Katie Korklin

“Harry wouldn’t stop telling my mum about it today, he had so much fun.  It really has been an amazing experience for the kids and they have gotten so much out of it”. Fran Masser
