At Ruswarp, we frequently partake in Forest Schools sessions, which provide an invaluable opportunity for children to engage with nature and develop a range of essential life skills. Our expansive outdoor space, complemented by a beautiful woodland area, serves as the perfect setting for these enriching experiences.

During our sessions, children immerse themselves in activities that foster teamwork and enhance problem-solving abilities. They learn the importance of resilience as they navigate challenges and explore their surroundings. Communication skills are honed through collaborative tasks, allowing children to express their ideas and work effectively with their peers.

Practical skills are also a key focus; children engage in building shelters using tools, learning the principles of construction and safety. They have the opportunity to safely handle fire and even partake in cooking outdoors, which enriches their understanding of sustenance and collaboration. Furthermore, our sessions incorporate geographical skills, encouraging children to understand their environment on a deeper level.

In addition to these skills, our children express their creativity by crafting art from natural materials, fostering an appreciation for the beauty of the outdoors. Overall, our Forest Schools sessions provide a holistic approach to education, ensuring children thrive both socially and academically.
