Dear all, we are soooo excited to announce that we are about to start our first Forest School sessions. We have been doing Forest School now for the past eight years and now have the opportunity to bring it to Bangor, Hillsbrough and Belvoir Park Forest (but this will be in October)!
Our Forest School also includes STEM and Art sessions while also enabling the children to take part in deep play in some of the most beautiful forests in their neck of the woods, pun intended!
What can you expect:
Storytelling and myths
Learning about biodiversity and how we all play a part on the planet
Activities from den building to geometry and art
Challenges and deep play
Creating seasonal crafts and a variety of activities to choose from
We always ensure that our activities are low impact and environmentally friendly and work closely with our children to ensure that they get the best experiences.
So here are the sessions:
