Forest School is an outdoor approach to learning where children are given opportunities to develop their self-esteem, confidence and independence through exploring the outdoors. At London Fields, we have been proudly offering weekly Forest School sessions to all our Reception children since 2016. Today, it was the new cohort's turn to enjoy and appreciate our Forest School site, and begin observing the change in seasons, and build emotional links to the natural world around us, which is crucial to a child's well-being.

The children had a fantastic first session, learning to use binoculars and magnifying glasses, building friendships and working as a team, making piles of leaves and throwing them in the air, having a go on our rope swing, making bird nests, cooking mud pies and so much more. We are already excited for our next week's session!

We'd like to thank our parent volunteers for supporting us and remind everyone that you can sign up through Scopay for any future sessions.
