Forest School
Hello and welcome to the St Michael's Forest School page.
Here, you will be able to find information about our Forest School activities and club. As well as learning new skills, children across the school will visit our forest area to explore and enjoy in a more relaxed, child led capacity. A number of children will also visit our Forest School for nurture sessions. The activities and experiences involved serve to enhance and support our creative, diverse and interesting curriculum for all children at St Michael's.
Our Forest School Friends are children who demonstrate a good understanding of Forest School rules and ethos and are able to communicate this to their peers whenever they visit Forest School.
