Forest School
Here at Childwall Valley we offer an amazing forest school experience whereby all our children are lucky enough to take part every week!!
During the course of the year the children will take part in a variety of shared experiences and develop skills which will include: studying wildlife, playing team and group games, communication/friendship activities, sensory activities, phonics activities, physical movement, rope and string work, art and sculpture, developing stories and drama, shelter building, tool use, woodland and traditional craft, fire lighting and cooking. Children will discuss mental health and well-being, learn techniques to help them and understand the importance of being outdoors on our mental health.
The children will explore our sensory world and will develop their gross and fine motor skills as well as their strength, co-ordination and positional awareness. They will have opportunities to develop their core strength, stability, balance, spatial awareness, co-ordination and agility. They will have opportunity to develop fine motor control and precision whilst developing their hand-eye co-ordination.
They will have the opportunity to practice using small tools which allows children to develop proficiency, control and confidence.
