Life in The Woodshed

Our aim is that children experience the world through nature play, music, art and expression. The forest school approach focuses on building emotional intelligence and developing the whole child. The model often has a life long, transformative affect.

Children will sing around the fire, learn to use and make tools, build dens, dig in the mud, identify bugs and animals or retreat to the tent for story time.

Playing outside provides unlimited opportunities for children to develop their thinking. Children are usually very relaxed outside. The concept of mess is somewhat absent in the outdoor space. Children have more opportunities for unstructured play with no beginning or end.
