We are very fortunate to have large grounds to support with outdoor learning. At the bottom of the field is our main designated forest school area. Mrs Whetham has received Forest School training and, on one afternoon each week, she works with groups of children.

Forest School  is where children are given hands-on learning experiences in the woodland area and school grounds. It enables the children to discover new things and take risks.Teamwork skills are developed through games and activities. There are opportunities to develop individual skills and self-esteem through activities such as shelter building, tool skills, lighting fires and environmental art.

Milestones Project

Some Year 6 pupils worked with Dean Sherwin (from the Witlshire Wildlife Trust) on an outdoor learning project. This was a new and exciting project which was funded by the Lottery.

Making 'pooters'

This week we made special bug collecting pots called 'pooters'. These pots allow you to have a really close look at all the creepy crawls that you find.

Here are some of ours:
