Endings and Beginnings

As last term ended and each group sat round giving feedback of their first year in Forest School a small rumble of enthusiasm would overtake each group... 'Do you remember when... ? and within a short time nearly every lesson of the year have been covered with someone's favourite moment or with something that had happened which caused everyone to laugh.

As a school we are trying to build learning memories in to children's lives, by giving them experiences and an enthusiasm for learning that will last a lifetime.

As we start the new school year plans are busily being put into place to launch the Cornerstones Curriculum after a successful trial of the Champions unit at the end of the summer term.

Forest School is contributing to those memories, getting children excited about a different way of learning. Already walking down the corridor children are asking, 'Are we doing Forest School? Is it group A this week?' and as the first children emerged for Spy Camp in Year 6 and exclamation of 'Freedom!'
