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 a fantastic outdoor space and we 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, the 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.
