Forest School
At Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School, Forest School sessions are a regular component of our learning. With suitable clothing and footwear, the children are able to explore and participate in outdoor learning, whatever the season or weather.
Forest School sessions focus on child-centred learning, where the natural environment encourages children to embrace their learning with greater motivation, focus and happiness. These sessions also help to develop children’s confidence by supporting risk-taking, whilst promoting creative learners, and the hands-on experience and interactions with nature allow children’s self-esteem to flourish.
Forest School benefits:
- develops research capacity and enquiring minds
- develops creativity and imagination
- identifies risk and increases confidence in managing risks
- ensures that children take responsibility for their actions and respect the natural world, and become responsible citizens.
- raises self-esteem and confidence
- creates independent and successful learners
