October Half Term WILD PLAY

39406683_1844276812324378_1160025702636978176_o.jpg

Children 5 - 11 are warmly invited to join us in the woods! 

Tuesday 27th October, Wednesday 28th October, Thursday 29th October 2020

Meeting @ Rodborough Tabernacle GL5 3UJ

9-3:15

£25 per child per day

Taking inspiration from our ancestors and playfully marking the time of year WILD PLAY is about supporting the children in independent exploration of the environment. Around our daily routines and games we will offer craft and cauldron cooking around the fire, fire skills and an introduction to tool use and construction. As we celebrate the abundant apple harvest and the sun before winter, nature offers inspiration for fire and lanterns, besoms (brooms), masks, wands.

Typically our days start and end with basecamp routine where we meet, discuss and share. Most importantly, we let the children take the lead and whole heartedly support the sessions becoming child-led.

The sessions are led by Forest School Leaders and supported by a strong, energetic and committed team with childcare, education or outdoor ed backgrounds.

COVID 19 We are pleased to say that we will be continuing to run in small groups. Updated guidance for the running of out of school settings permits us to run groups for up to 15 children; keeping these groups as consistent as possible. We have elected to keep 3 separate small groups operating independently. This half term the group size may increase marginally to accommodate siblings as one household, but staying in line with ratios set for this age group.

We look forward to seeing you in the woods!


Carrie and team

Summer WILD PLAY - Rodborough

COVID 19

We would like to offer a number of places based on current goverment guidance on the phased return of outdoor sports and recreation.

We will be planning for 3 smaller groups of 5 children to one adult, encouraging social distancing but with pratical risk mitigation in place. We are looking at how we manage those pragmatically, creating a safe, secure, happy environment.

We are planning the structure of the day to remain the same and familiar; there will be some activities that will be limited to certain times of the day or not possible as they are higher risk.

We will explain how we plan to manage this clearly so you have time to explain this to your children who may have expectations based on sessions they have attended before. We'll update you here by the end of the week begining 6/7/20 with this infomation.

Please do get in touch if there is anything you would like to discuss.

Warmest wishes to everyone

Children 5 - 11 are warmly invited to join us in the woods!

We are returning for more Forest School this coming half term! 

Expectant and ready for fresh, cold, potentially wet and possibly snowy weather we will be providing structured and free play in the great outdoors - whatever the weather (storm, high winds excepting). 

In the words of Sir Ranulph Fiennes and the old Scandanavian proverb 

'There is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing' 

we will lead by example;  layer up and embrace our environment! 

Structure will be around the all important skills of firelighting, team challenges and being and sharing together in the basecamp.  Offered activities will include greenwood craft, cooking, story telling, den making and bushcraft skills.  

We continue to support children in implementing their own ideas using the resources they find and their limitless imagination.
