Forest School

At Brookside, we have our own woodland!

It’s the perfect venue for our children to enjoy the adventures of Forest School.

Forest School takes place in the natural setting of our own woodland.  Through Forest School, our children connect with nature and hands-on learning. They build shelters, identify plants and animals, and explore and craft with natural materials. This hands-on approach makes learning memorable and enjoyable.

Forest School is the perfect way to develop every child’s creativity, imagination and physical activity.

Here’s what our children have to say about Forest School at Brookside:

‘We get to do arts and crafts by using natural materials and the things we find outdoors.  We learn how to use tools and build dens.’

‘Being outdoors is great for our health.  We learn new skills all the time by using the power of nature!’

‘It’s a privilege to have Forest School at Brookside.  It’s great for the mind and let’s us learn outdoors as well as in the classroom.’
