Enhanced Learning at Holbrook Primary School
Mossy Green Kids Outdoor Learning
'Forest School' sessions with Pippa McKinnon from 'Mossy Green Kids' take place on Thursdays for individuals and groups of children.
In these sessions children use nature as a resource for play, learning, confidence building and positive experiences. Children are introduced to the wonders of nature through all the seasons. The children enjoy the space and natural environment of the outdoors, with endless possibilities for learning and an abundance of resources. Taking learning outdoors offers many benefits, including being more physically active with greater freedom of movement.
Risk is an active part of working in and moving through an outdoor space; and children are encouraged to take supported risks and understand the process of assessing risk by taking part in making sensible and informed choices about how to deal with unfamiliar situations such as exploring, using tools and using natural resources. A high ratio of adult to child is maintained to enable this style of learning to take place.
