Amanda and Sandra, 2 of our experienced team at The Pre-school Playstation in Broughton Astley, studied the ethos of Forest School learning as their chosen subject at the University of Northampton. Abbi has now completed her level 3 Forest School training and has successfully been running our Forest School sessions since 2018. We have always worked within the ethos of Forest School enjoying taking children on short trips around the village and making them aware of the ever-changing environment. We are excited to announce that we now have a 14 seat minibus to use for the purpose of taking children on trips out to the local woodlands and countryside. Trips will be planned around themes as well as being spontaneous following children's interests and working with the EYFS and the Forest School ethos of small groups, short trips. The Pre-school can supply wellingtons (if you haven't any) and wet weather suits, we ask parents/carers to dress their children sensibly, for example wearing long trousers, no strappy sandals, long sleeved tops and coats. Please take account of the weather on the day. All trips will be risk assessed and planned for the maximum learning opportunities and minimum risk whilst keeping the sessions fun and relaxed. All risk assessments are available for parents to see prior to the trip.
