Welcome

Welcome to the Bredon Forest School web site.

The natural environment provides a wealth of opportunity to expand young children's learning through multi sensory exploration, experimentation and adult supervised play.

Bredon Forest School provides a safe, outdoor 'classroom' located in a secluded private woodland only 2 miles from Bredon. Supervised by a trained forest school leader, the children are encouraged to explore all aspects of the natural world. Their own interests and play ideas will be the basis of activities to extend their learning. The RULES of Forest School are taught first and the sessions follow a set routine to ensure the health & safety of the children is paramount.

Activities will include:- hide & seek, den building, picture making, bug hunting, collecting & sorting, singing, listening, observing growth & decay, noting changes in seasons, leaf printing, tree rubbing and many more. Materials will include:- mud, sticks, logs, leaves, stones, string, collecting boxes, magnifying glasses, tarpaulins, books, pictures, paper ,charcoal, sand, water and imagination.

Photographs are used extensively to 'capture' the work being done by the children. Written consent is obtained for the use of these photos on the site and parents may request full picture files to be Emailed to them. (contact Deb@djmanns.com)

Children need sturdy shoes or wellies, a water proof jacket (over-trousers if you have them), old clothes (including a change), a water bottle and small rucksack.

Sessions are currently provided on a regular basis for local school and playgroups. Other groups arrange visits on a more casual basis.
