Title: If you go down to The Forest School today, youre sure of a big surprise


1
If you go down to The Forest School today, youre
sure of a big surprise!!!
2
Forest School is a new initiative encouraging
children to explore their environment and in so
doing develop their skills through all areas of
the Foundation Stage curriculum.
3
Introducing Forest School
Base Camp
The den
The bug hotel
4
We use ICT to capture the childrens progress in
6 areas of learning in forest school.
  • Mathematical Development

Measuring who is the highest Developing
mathematical vocabulary.
5
  • Pouring, measuring and comparing capacity

6
  • Communication, Language and Literacy

Writing their names with mud on the fence
Developing CLL skills
7
  • Children develop language through role play

8
Louis observes and talks about his frozen snake
each session
  • Developing vocabulary through observing and
    talking about interesting things they find.

9
  • Knowledge and Understanding

Children learn to take care of their environment
. There is so much life on our site daffodils,
hedges, nettles, blossom, trees, bamboo, long
wavy grass and many different types of mini
beasts have found new homes here.
10
Children have been observing birds in the forest
school area.
11
One of the activities that the children enjoy the
most in forest school is looking for mini beasts.
They learn how to take care of living things. We
have watched caterpillars turn into butterflies
and release them into forest school, we then
found a cocoon in forest school and watched a
ladybird emerge and we have found a whole
collection of different types of insects.
12
Creative development
The children can use a range of materials for
mark making and creating pictures, such as mud
13
Natural objects for making sculptures
14
And painting with water
15
Physical Development
Children learn and develop a range of physical
skills, such as balancing on this see-saw made
from a wooden plank and a log to roll.
16
  • Children are active throughout their session,
    playing a variety of games and skating, rolling
    and sliding around in the mud!

17
Personal, Social and Emotional
The children gain confidence and develop great
relationships with their peers during the range
of activities Mrs Montgomery provides each
session.
18
We have introduced ICT in the foundation
Stage by teaching the children to use everyday
technology in our wonderful Forest School area.
19
The children use ICT as evidence of their own
learning.

the scanner
29
Using digital movie creators
  • The children use digital movie creators to
    capture learning in forest school.
  • We have collected short video clips showing a
    wide variety of learning taking place, such as
  • Role playing making hot chocolate with the mud
    and water.
  • Story telling The Three Little Pigs underneath
    a tent the children made.
  • Children describing interesting objects they
    have found in the forest school area.
  • Developing language through songs relating to
    activities in forest school, such as Mrs Wishy
    Washy, Wiggly Worms etc.

Main Outcomes
  • The use of ICT in forest school has
  • provided evidence of pupil learning for the
    foundation stage profiles.
  • improved childrens learning and enthusiasm for
    ICT.
  • developed confidence in both staff and adults in
    using a range of technology.
