​

Wild Wood Bristol Forest School is all about helping children learn more about the natural environment, while building confidence and establishing friendships. 

 

Sessions consist of five parts:

​

1. Regular set activities to help the children establish familiarity with the woodland setting. 

​​

2. Varied adult led activities that:

• develops the children's fine and gross motor skills

• promotes physical activity

• encourages creativity

• supports communication and team working skills

• helps build a greater understanding of the natural environment

 

3. Free time to explore the natural woodland and follow the children's interests.

​

4. The communal campfire.  This is something that sets our Forest School apart. All sessions include making a campfire and having a hot chocolate.  Where time allows, we will also prepare and cook something over the fire.  In the past this has included smores, bread-on-sticks and popcorn, among others. 

 

When time is limited, due to our other activities, the children will be offered a biscuit or cracker with their hot chocolate.

​

5. The session finishes with a story.
