Forest School

Forest School promotes all aspects of children’s early years' development.  Forest School may have added benefits that learning indoors does not provide.  It endorses children’s physical well-being by making them more active and enjoying the fresh air.  Similarly, it gives children a greater wealth of experiences the outdoors can offer, thus instilling a healthier lifestyle.

‍Friedman et al. (2022), concurs that outdoor play is essential for healthy development, especially in children’s early years as being energetic outside, provides children with invaluable experiences that can directly influence their physical and emotional development, social skills, creativity and even their intelligence.

Each Thursday morning, our Acorns class joins Reception from Cameron Vale School, and they enjoy a morning of outdoor learning at Barnes Common with the experts from Little Tree House Learning.
