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! 🌳🌿🍂🍄
