Forest School
We are so excited to be able to offer Forest School sessions at Ampney Crucis School. Giving the children the opportunity to take part in Forest School is hugely beneficial in the development of the whole child and enables them to develop essential key life skills:
- Confidence
- Resilience
- Social skills
- Collaboration and team work
- Motivation
- Perseverance
- Communication
- Knowledge and understanding of the environment
- Problem solving
- Physical development
All children will have the opportunity to have Forest School sessions throughout the year where we follow the Forest School ethos. Reception will have weekly sessions and Years 1 to 6 will have a block each half term as follows:
Autumn 1: Year 1
Autumn 2: Year 2
Spring 1: Year 3
Spring 2: Year 4
Summer 1: Year 5
Summer 2: Year 6
These sessions enable the children to learn new skills as well as having the opportunity to follow their own interests and continue to work on a project until they have accomplished their desired outcome.
