Forest School

All KS1 children at Tenbury C.E. Primary Academy participate in a Forest School experience, once a fortnight in our forest school area.

Forest school is an inspirational outdoor experience where children are offered regular opportunities to achieve, develop social skills, self esteem and confidence throughout real life experiences in a woodland environment.

During the session, children take part in activities such as:

Using tools safely and appropriately

Making fires and cooking in our bread oven
Den making
Exploring and learning about the woodland environment
Planting and growing vegetables
Natural art and exploring creativity.

Throughout these kinds of activities and other child led ideas, forest school aims to:

Encourage creativity
Develop a curiosity about, and respect for, the natural environment
Increase physical skills and spatial awareness
Develop co-operation and social skills
Increase self-esteem and confidence
Celebrate achievements and successes
