Virgin Media Volunteers
03/09/2021
It was brilliant yesterday (02.09.21) to welcome back to Forest School our very energetic Virgin Media volunteers. Led by Andrew, our Forest School Manager, they worked really hard all day in the fresh air, clearing our nature paths, working in the polytunnels and filling our raised beds with top soil and horse manure ready to be planted this Autumn. Unfortunatey, the volunteers could not come last year due to coronavirus. We want to thank all the volunteers for giving up their time to help us, for their hard work and their good humour. Thank you all.

The benefits of outdoor learning
We passionately believe that children experience a huge range of benefits when they are playing and learning outside in natural environments. The natural world provides an infinite amount more learning resources and opportunities that can ever be provided in a single room or playground. This why we have purchased a completely secure and private nine acre field in Denholme, which it is in the process of developing into our own forest school facility, where children can be taken to enjoy playing and learning all day in a totally natural environment. We are not alone in believing this as a large number of studies show that children benefit from learning outdoors in many ways.
