Forest School
Forest School will be on a Tuesday afternoon for Barn Owl Class and will be lead by Miss Gray. Where possible, we will be using the Millennium Green to carry out our forest school sessions. The forest school sessions will be slightly more structed than previously and will often link to science teaching.
Children are to come into school on a Tuesday with bottoms that are suitable for forest school such as tracksuit bottoms or leggings. Please wear school uniform on top half where possible – such as school jumper or cardigan.
Forest School will take place in all weather so please ensure the appropriate outer wear is in school on that day
