Examples of recent briefs from Schools and Nurseries:
"Our children adore being outside. We have a wonderful outdoor environment
and we need to transform the teaching and learning so that experiences
in the natural environment are integral to what our schools offer daily."
"We have recently developed our outdoor area and want to launch a host of new activities and opportunities for our children in September.We are hoping this event will inspire all staff and kick start out project in a positive and fun way. Using the environment and the resources we have we would like to encourage staff to think more creatively and change their attitude and approach to outdoor learning and to view it in a more positive way."
"We would like for you to deliver an overview of the forest schools experience, by the time
the training takes place the majority of participants will have some knowledge and
participated in a few sessions.
We feel that the staff will need an overview of Forests Schools:
• History
• Ethos
• Schemas and learning styles - why Forest Schools works
• Tips and hints for support staff
• What areas of development to expect from the children attending sessions"
Recent feedback from Inset Training:
" I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful day we had with your trainer. She was fantastic and my entire staff felt inspired and keen to incorporate Forest Schools into our curriculum. And many of them came to me afterwards saying they weren’t expecting to enjoy today and have in fact loved it. So thank you very much."
"It was great to see how much we can do in our own field and it’s
amazing how creative you can be when given the freedom."
"That I have learnt new skills for life and I will pass them by teaching my
kids and with pleasure, talk to my friends about it."
"A great opportunity to provide staff with the skills and ideas to take
lessons outside. Brilliant!"
