Forest School is based on 6 core principles which have been developed to promote the physical and mental wellbeing of children and encouraging their holistic development with child led play and activities on a regular, long term basis under the guidance of a trained Forest School Practitioner

Our Home Ed sessions follow the forest school principles which include learner led activities, over a long term, outdoors (whatever the weather) and overseen and facilitated by a qualified Forest School practitioner

Activities will include:

Making dens, tying knots and using ropes and tarpaulins; climbing trees, playing games, using hand tools (including whittling, chopping and cutting), investigating things around the farm, building fires and cooking over an open fire; planting trees, hedges and flowers and, hopefully, learning how to love and appreciate nature.

And most importantly of all, having fun!!

Saplings Holiday Club is inspired and run using the Forest School principles and ethos. Our holiday club is aimed at children from 5 to 12 years old and will run from 9am to 3:15pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays through the school holidays.
