A new term of Home Ed Forest School

It looks like Anna enjoyed the mud more than the children!

For families who are home-schooling their children, forest school can be an excellent addition to their curriculum, providing a unique way to socialise with like-minded families, whilst learning new skills and gaining new experiences. Spending time in nature has been linked to reduced stress, improved mood, and better cognitive function. In addition, forest school can help children develop a sense of responsibility and respect for the environment, which is becoming increasingly important in a world facing climate change and other environmental challenges.

Forest school promotes a child-led approach to learning, which means that students are encouraged to pursue their own interests and passions. This helps to build confidence and self-esteem, as children are able to take ownership of their own learning and make their own decisions. In addition, the hands-on, experiential learning that takes place in forest school can help to build problem-solving skills and encourage creativity and innovation. Overall, forest school is a powerful way for children to learn and grow in a natural, supportive environment.
