Reception Class Forest School every Wednesday morning all year round.
TERM 5 / Year 4 on Wednesday afternoons, except for the first week which will be Thur 25th April.
For health & safety it is important we have extra parent help during these sessions. If you are able to assist please contact the School Office as we require all parent helpers for Forest School to hold a current DBS certificate valid for Newick CE Primary School.
Forest School at Newick C.E. Primary School provides all pupils the time and space to develop skills, interests and understanding through practical, hands-on experiences. It also allows staff to observe the children in order to then encourage and inspire individuals to achieve through careful scaffolding and facilitating. Forest School provides pupils with the opportunity to explore their local environment throughout the different seasons and to develop an understanding of how they can take responsibility for preserving the natural world that they live in.
We support the six principles of Forest School, which were agreed by the UK Forest School community in 2011 and we use these to underpin our planning and provision of Forest School at Newick CE Primary School.
Year 1 have been reading ‘The Lost Happy Endings’ by Carol Ann Duffy. Year 1’s brought in an item from home to make Jub’s house as she lives in the woods. We worked really hard as a team to make her house and we were really proud of them.
