Bright Seedlings Mondays

Bright Seedlings are our popular sessions for children from toddling to 5, but younger and older siblings are welcome to attend.

The changing nature of the outdoors makes it an incredibly stimulating and multi-sensory place with the different sounds, textures and shapes, colours, smells and even things to taste under adult supervision. This is important as babies and young children learn and gain experience through all of their senses and it is always wonderful to see how they respond to the surrounding environment with their natural curiosity.

During this 3 week programme we will provide a number of opportunities for the children to engage their senses and aid their learning.

We will also enjoy stories, light fires, play in the mud kitchen and splash in the beck.

ABOUT FOREST SCHOOLS
Forest Schools is an ethos that encourages child led outdoor learning, fostering the spirit of independence and adventure. Children experience the natural world through play, developing confidence and self-esteem.

It is a long-term process that fully benefits the children when attended regularly over an extended period of time that ideally encompasses all of the seasons.
