Last week, I started my ‘Forest School Level 3 Practitioner’ training. I had a fabulous, fun-filled week, and returned to school brimming with excitement!!! This training week is just the start of our ‘Forest School’ learning journey.
Throughout this year, I have a portfolio to compile and an assessment week to pass. I will start by completing the necessary risk assessments and creating a welcome pack. I will then be planning, six two-hour lessons for Wrens initially, for one of my units. I will then be sharing my knowledge and skills with other staff members, as I become more confident and knowledgeable.
We will be looking at incorporating ‘Forest School’ into our curriculum in the near future.
Take a look at some photos from my training course at Whiteley Wood Outdoor Activity Centre and Leam Woods.
