This fun and informal course provides an opportunity for learners with a child at Ladygrove Primary School

The course will explore how families can work together to enjoy and engage with learning and creativity in the outdoor environment.

• Aims of the Programme: 

• To induce a feeling of wellbeing and peace that being outside in a Forest area can bring.

• To develop adults’ and children’s understanding of the animals, plants and trees that may be found in a typical woodland environment in Shropshire, UK.
• To encourage learners to think creatively 

• To develop children’s and adults’ confidence in working with each other.

• To provide a relaxed, friendly space for learners to interact with each other 
• To support Wellbeing
• Outdoor appropriate clothing will be needed
• All resources provided

Children and adults need to be dressed appropriately for being outdoors and for the weather. This will be made clear via email prior to the first session. We have flexibility to use the indoor space as well so weather depending, snack could be at Forest School (with appropriate hand sanitizing facilities) or back in the indoor space. Ensure younger children have been to the toilet before we go to Forest School. Any child who needs the toilet during the session will have to be accompanied by their parent.

One child per adult

All resources are provided.
