our garden
We are extremely fortunate to have such an amazing outdoor space and so once a week our local forest school comes to visit! We feel this is such an important part of our curriculum as it puts children back in touch with nature and encourages risk taking and setting their own boundaries.
Forest school
" Forest school at Birstall Pre-School is a hands on approach that takes learnings outdoors, using nature as the classroom. Children have a weekly session outside in their lovely outdoor provision, taking part in activities such as observing wildlife, imaginative play, safely toasting marshmallows over a small supervised fire and completing a different nature-inspired craft each week. These experiences support creativity, fine motor skills, confidence, independence and emotional wellbeing. I truly love visiting Birstall Pre-School, especially being part of a setting that values outdoor learning and gives children such joyful, meaningful experiences in nature."
