Forest School Activities

Rossmere Primary School Sessions

All children who attend Rossmere Primary School have regular lessons in the Forest School. This ranges from nursery and reception children having a weekly visit to explore the environment, to Key Stage 2 children using the Forest School as part of their science curriculum for a term. The lessons include teaching of Forest School skills and also using the environment to deliver outdoor learning.

We aim to use natural resources, tools and the outdoor environment to develop resilience, thinking skills and enhance vocabulary.

Treetots Toddler Group

Our toddler group is for any child from walking to age 4, and operates on Tuesday afternoons from 1 – 2.30 and Friday mornings from 9.30 – 11.

The cost is £3 per child and you do not need to book. Activities are usually based around a story and include a craft activity and the chance to explore outdoors, use the mud kitchen or try some pond dipping.
