What happens during a session?

Each session will begin around the log circle. Then there will be time for themed activities and free play, followed by campfire snack time and games and more time to play. We will finish up back at the log circle for reflection time.

Each half term will have a different theme, offering different activities each week. In addition, the mud kitchen, fairy trees, den building, hammocks, tool area, minibeast hotel, obstacle course and whole woodland site can be explored each week. The sessions are designed to be child-led.

If appropriate, some children may experience using the Forest School tools, such as the saws and drills during the latter sessions.
