Forest School
We have two enthusiastic and qualified forest school leaders at Hanley swan preschool, we have two 2hr sessions a week at the primary school forest school area. Currently these are on a Thursday and Friday morning this term
A pair of wellington boots are a good idea in wet weather, or snow boots for added warmth, as well as a warm coat, or snowsuit/waterproof suit.
Old long sleeved clothes are also advisable as they do love crawling around and exploring even in warm weather!
We go outside in all weathers, children are constantly moving so they do not get cold, and we always have a hot chocolate and a biscuit to keep us energised in the cold months. WE FIND CHILDREN LOVE THESE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND THESE DAYS ARE EXTREMELY POPULAR so get booked up quickly. We do lots of exciting things, like using mallets to make berry paint, or hand drills, bug hunting and identification, den building and structures, as well as clay and mud crafts to name a few!
