Forest School

Here at Lynsted and Norton Primary School, we want to give all children the best possible opportunities and experiences.  We are very excited to share with you, that our school has implemented Forest School into our provision.

Forest School is an inspirational learning process that is centred around the child.  It offers opportunities for holistic growth through regular sessions, supporting play and exploration.  It develops confidence and self esteem through learner inspired, hands on experiences in a natural setting.  The process supports and enables more than knowledge gathering.  It helps learners develop socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically and intellectually.  This style of learning is particularly beneficially to our child’s well being. 

Forest School will further enhance the curriculum in our school.  Activities will include storytelling, natural art activities, use of tools, exploring, nature watching and bug hunting, building dens and sculptures and taking time to reflect. 

Natalie China from Tribe Forest School delivers Forest School learning, which takes place on our school field, the tree area near the office and of course our outdoor classroom.
