As a Forest School we recognise how much the outdoors has to offer towards the development of the whole child. We visited Brockwell Woods in Blaydon to get our first real independent forest learning experience. The children had a fantastic time helping to keep the fire going by collecting and sorting wood, preparing and cooking the lovely stew and pizzas for lunch, building shelters, playing games and generally finding out about the woods and being outdoors. Everyone had a brilliant experience and cannot wait until they go out into the woods again.
