The Full Story
A Day at Our Forest School
Morning Gathering
We start our day with a circle time, where children can share their thoughts, express their feelings, and discuss what they’re curious about. This is also when we introduce the day’s theme or explore what the children are interested in learning about.
Exploration and Discovery
As we venture into the forest, children engage in guided exploration sessions. They might learn about different plant species, observe wildlife in their natural habitats, or study the way water interacts with the landscape. Each session is designed to spark curiosity and encourage hands-on learning.

Collaborative Projects
Children are encouraged to work together on various projects. This might involve solving a problem, like constructing a bridge across a small stream, or a science activity that teaches them about life cycles or ecosystems.
Reflection and Mindfulness
To wind down the day, we gather for a quiet time of reflection. Children are guided through mindfulness exercises, perhaps sitting quietly, listening to the sounds of the forest, or practicing deep breathing. This helps them relax and absorb all they've learned.
Closing Circle
At the end of the day, we circle back together to share our experiences and learnings. This reinforces a sense of community and gives each child a chance to voice their discoveries and feelings about the day.
