Development

Latest Additions

Across 2023/2024 we have been developing our area further.

We have added several large wooden posts into our woodland to create areas that lend themselves to den building, hammocks and slacklines.

We have planted 100s of Bluebells to increase the diversity of the flora within the woodland. 

We have crated 2 bug hotel areas to increase the diversity of our Fauna within the woodland. 

We have added in a balancing obstacle. 

We have added in a wooden arch that is used for dens and imaginative play. 

We have added in a weaving station for creativity.

We have added in 'knot stops' which are posts to guide children in learning several types of common knots. 

New Name for 2024

 

We have respectfully chosen to name our Forest School area CAMPBELLS CORNER. 

This was chosen to remember our beloved Mrs Campbell who was a member of staff and all round Holme Slack Hero who worked here for many many years. We hope this is a fitting tribute to her as she had a love for the great outdoors. 

The children enjoyed hand making this sign with Mrs Lenz by hammering in a nail for the wording and leaves.

A new space at school for 2022!

 

We have some very exciting news to share with you that our first year group were able to take their learning in our new outdoor classroom!

Lots of work behind the scenes has been going on to get this area ready for your children to be able to enjoy. And after over 2 years I can say Reception class had a fantastic afternoon out there yesterday.

The land behind of school to the right has been fenced off and cleared of significant rubbish, with a firepit, pathways and shade sails installed to create a natural woodland environment to take learning outdoors.

I'd like to take the opportunity to ask you to help protect this area, from public misuse, and keep it a safe clear area for your children to learn.

All that's needed now is a name for it! A competition within school will run for name ideas and we will whittle it down and put it to a vote if there are too many!

We would love the name to be linked to our community so if you have any suggestions please message Mrs Lenz know on the gate.

Thank you!
