Preparing Boys for the 21st Century
Preparing Boys for the 21st Century
30th April 2014
Reception have recently enjoyed the first of their Forest School sessions, this half term.
The boys visited Littleheath Woods for a fun afternoon of outdoor exploration and games. They also started to build their own shelters using natural materials.
Forest School sessions aim to develop each boy’s appreciation and respect for nature, but also provide invaluable opportunities for developing problem solving skills, initiative, co-operation and physical development.
Read some comments from Reception about Forest School:
