So we saw yesterday how lovely Miss A's Forest School training was and how hard she has worked but what does it look like in practice... Over to Miss A to let us know what they have been up to!
Reception and Year 1 had a fantastic time during their Forest School sessions at Mickley and in Ovingham First's enchanted woods! The children set off on a nature texture hunt, exploring the woodland to discover a variety of natural treasures. They decorated their own bags to collect and carry their wonderful finds before enjoying plenty more outdoor adventures. From climbing trees and taking part in team games to building woodland homes, creating beautiful bee crafts and weaving colourful God's Eyes, the children embraced every opportunity to learn, create and explore in nature. It was wonderful to see their curiosity, teamwork and imaginations flourish in the great outdoors. We can't wait for our next Forest School adventure! 🌳🐝🍂 ... See MoreSee Less

In our constant drive to ensure we can offer our pupils the best experiences at Mickley, Miss Atkinson has been working through her Forest School training! 📝🌿
Miss A has had a fantastic time developing new skills and deepening her understanding of outdoor learning. From learning how to use tools safely and responsibly, to mastering fire lighting techniques, every session has been hands-on, inspiring and full of valuable knowledge. It's been wonderful to spend time outdoors, learning practical skills that help children build confidence, resilience and a love for nature. We're looking forward to bringing these new skills back to school and sharing them with the children through exciting Forest School sessions. Seeing their confidence, curiosity and independence grow in the outdoors is something we're really looking forward to! 💚
A huge thank you to the trainers Caroline and Jon from Adventure Training North East for such an engaging, supportive and enjoyable course. Here's to many more outdoor adventures! 🌳🌿🍂🍄 ... See MoreSee Less
