FOREST SCHOOL

Since returning from the Christmas break, the secondary pupils have been looking at sustainability and how this looks within a woodland. To do this the pupils have been helping to manage the woodland though coppicing. The pupils have been learning what coppicing is and how it's beneficial for both humans and the woodland, and ahev also engaged in studying some of the science behind the technique. Some of the pupils have been looking at sustainability during their science lessons so developing their understanding of coppicing has complemented the pupils learning elsewhere in the school with strong cross-curricular links. With the coppiced wood, all pupils will be involved in building a wattle wall for the forest school area. 

The infants and juniors, since the Christmas break, have been looking at how to build structures using natural materials found around the woodland. Whether this was building a tower to a given height or building a small shelter for the clay animals they have made. Then, using these new skills, the students have started to build bug hotels for the mini beasts that live within the forest school area. Again, this will link beautifully with science lessons when we start to examine insects and their benefit for humans and the eco system as a whole.
