Forest School

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am preparing for some exciting (as always!) Forest School sessions in September and hoped that you may be able to help out with some resources. I anticipate Forest School will take place around the school site initially.
Natural resources would be much appreciated for these sessions. You can drop your ‘finds’ off at school during the holidays. Please put items in the plastic storage box in the wildlife garden (to the right as you come through the pedestrian gate).

If you are having a sort out at home I am looking for some other resources to use at Forest School. Please take a look to see if you can help. (These could also be left in the plastic storage shed).

There will be a nature table at school in September, this will be for the whole school to take part in. So, keep your eyes peeled over the summer holidays for some interesting finds. Photos also welcome.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in September,
Mrs Ratcliffe.
