Outdoor Learning at Whitecross
Stepping outside feels good!
It’s energising, uplifting and a great way to ground back into nature.
At Whitecross we have two fantastic outdoor spaces for both caterpillars and butterflies, and we all go outside whatever the weather!
Outdoor learning improves child development, supports mental health and well-being, deepens nature connections and promotes more inclusive and engaging learning.
Your child will:
- Have fun
- Explore and investigate
- Be imaginative
- Take calculated risks and challenges
- Develop a love of nature
- Experience awe and wonder
All whilst learning outdoors!
Forest School Sessions
We hold a weekly forest school session within the outdoor area for small groups throughout the year.
At Forest School, children have opportunities to develop the skills of using a range of tools, taking risks and taking part in specific forest school activities. Of course, we always earn and enjoy a yummy hot chocolate with toasted marshmallows at the end of our sessions.
