Forest School and Outdoor Learning

Having been on a recent ERASMUS visit to Sweden, Mrs Wise and Mrs Beirne shared their knowledge of Forest School and outdoor learning with Bridgewater staff on our INSET day.  We had the opportunity to learn about the many benefits to children of taking learning outside and acquiring a range of skills. We participated in many activities including fire lighting, using tools including hammers, making knots and building shelters. At the swale, we did pond dipping and leaf printing.  We were able to see how we could use our amazing outside space when delivering our curriculum!
