Forest School

Comper Foundation Stage School is participating in the Oxfordshire Forest School Project and our Forest School site is here at Barracks Lane where some of our families have allotments.

Our 4 and 5 year-old children come once a fortnight throughout the year to experience a full and enhanced curriculum in an outdoor environment.

Forest School helps children to develop in all areas of learning and to build confidence and self-esteem.

After a drink and a biscuit, we participate in activities such as playing hide and seek, climbing trees, hunting for minibeasts We are developing the children’s environmental learning by observing seasonal changes and the impact of the weather.

We plan to put up nesting boxes for birds and bats and also homes for bees and ladybirds.
