This aimed at practitioners wanting to find out about Forest School sessions and those with an interest in expanding their knowledge of outdoor learning opportunities. The course is appropriate for adults working with children from the age of 0 to 11 years old, as the experiences can be adapted according to the ages/stages of child development. Course aim This practical course introduces the principles of Forest School and explores how Forest School practices support children holistically to become confident independent learners. Throughout this course learners will have the opportunity to explore: - Consider the ethos and impact of Forest School practices - Practical 'hands-on' Forest School experiences to be able to implement this unique way of learning in your setting - Consider how Forest School compliments the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum through a variety of practical experiences and discussion Additional Information This session is practical and will be held outdoors in a woodland environment, whatever the weather, so please wear suitable clothing. It is always cooler under the canopy of the trees and is often muddy so sturdy shoes/wellington boots are recommended along with warm waterproof clothing.
