A visit to St.Edwards Church

We have had a lovely visit to the Church this morning for the Ash Wednesday service. Reverent Petra placed an ash cross on our foreheads, if we wanted one and Aubree very careful placed one on Reverent Petra’s head. We all listened and walked extremely well to the Church.

Visit to Church for Lent

We visited Church today as it is the start of Lent. For those of us that wanted one, Reverend Petra made an ash cross on our forehead using a cotton bud.

Growing our Forest School!

Mrs Fielding and Miss Jones are currently studying to become Level 3 Forest Schools Practitioners with the aim of establishing our very own forest school community in our school grounds. The forest school will be located on the school field under the canopy of the beautiful oak, hazel and ash trees. The ethos of the forest schools experience is to give learners the opportunity to develop self esteem, build confidence, resilience and take risks in a practical, physical and natural outdoor environment.

If you have any experience, advice or resources that would assist in the development of our forest schools community, we would love to hear from you.

Growing our Forest School!

Mrs Fielding and Miss Jones are currently completing their level 3 Forest School Practitioners Course with the aim of setting up Forest School provision within our school setting. Our forest school will be located up on the field under the canopy of our beautiful hazel, beech and birch trees. The ethos of forest schools gives learners the opportunity to develop self-esteem, build confidence, resilience and take risks in a practical, physical, natural outdoor environment. We wish to create a community that will engage in lifelong learning and a passion for our local, natural environment.

Members of our school community have been extremely helpful in enabling us to develop the forest school site by offering resources and advice. If you have any forest schools experience or have any advice that you could offer us, we would love to hear from you.
