🍃 Learning Beyond the Classroom 🍃
Our second Year 2 class have taken their learning outdoors this week as we launched our forest school sessions!
To begin, the children focused on the importance of staying safe and understanding the expectations of working in an outdoor environment. They demonstrated excellent listening skills and a thoughtful approach to keeping themselves and others safe.
With the foundations set, the woodland quickly became a space for exploration, discovery, and joy. The children embraced the chance to learn through nature—climbing, building, observing, and imagining.
It’s been a brilliant start, and we can’t wait to see how these sessions continue to support their confidence, independence, and love of learning. 🌲#larkswoodlife#outdoorlearning #forestschool ... See MoreSee Less

🌿 Forest School Adventures Begin! 🌿
This week marked the exciting start of our forest school-inspired outdoor learning sessions for our Year 2 children! On Tuesday, one class headed out into the woodland, with another class on Wednesday.
The sessions began with a focus on understanding the rules and how different play is in this new environment. The children listened carefully and showed great responsibility as they learned how to respect both the space and each other.
Once ready, they were free to explore the woodland, discovering the many opportunities it offers for curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. From investigating natural materials to engaging in imaginative play and a bit of hide-and-seek, it was fantastic to see their enthusiasm and confidence grow.
We are looking forward to many more outdoor learning experiences ahead! 🌳#larkswoodlife #outdoorlearning#forestschool ... See MoreSee Less
