Owlets Class Blog: Outdoor Learning dates...

Hello Everyone,

Throughout the year, all the children have access to Forest School/Outdoor Learning activities and we are developing our own 'Outdoor Area' on the school site.

'Forest School/Outdoor Learning gives your child the chance to be outside and to experience all that the natural world can offer. they will have trhe opportunity to develop their social skills through working together with their peers as part of a team. they will also learn about the flora and fauna in the area and how these change in the different seasons. the children will also be necnouraged to become independent and therefore take responsibility for their own learning.'

The nature of Forest School/Outdoor Learning means that we will be outside in different weather conditions, including rain and colder temperatures. therefore, your child will be required to wear appropriate clothing and footwear each session in order to fully take part.

They will need:-

A waterproof coat, not too thin or too padded

A long sleeved top

Long trousers

Plus socks (more than one pair if cold - especially when wearing wellies)

A hat (sun or cold weather)

Wellingtons or sturdy boots or even old trainers if the weather is dry

These items of clothing may get very dirty so it would be advisable thar the children change out of their uniform at School and then into their Forest School/Outdoor Learning clothes.

Please ensure that all clothes are clearly labelled.

Please also let your child know that it is absolutely fine for them to get dirty whilst at Forest School/Outdoor Learning.
