**Children at Park Road Community Primary School are getting the chance to explore nature, develop new skills, and grow in confidence as part of new Forest School sessions.**

**We asked our Forest School Lead Miss Taylor to tell us more about what pupils will be doing in these unique outdoor lessons.**

“I have a passion for the outdoors and working with children so having the opportunity to combine them both will be an amazing experience.
With this being said, I am thrilled to announce that the children of Park Road Primary will be taking part in Forest School!

Forest School is a unique outdoor learning experience where children can explore nature, develop new skills, and grow in confidence.

During Forest School sessions, your child will:

- Learn about the natural environment through hands-on activities like bug hunting, leaf identification, den building, camp fires, tree climbing and much more.
- Build their teamwork and communication skills through group games and problem-solving challenges.
- Develop independence and creativity by building shelters, using tools safely, and engaging in imaginative play.
- Develop fine and gross motor skills while engaging in outdoor exploration and physical activities.

Forest School encourages curiosity, resilience, and a deep connection with nature. Each session will be child-led, allowing them to follow their interests, try new things, and learn at their own pace.

We can’t wait to see their love for learning grow in the great outdoors!”
