Taking place within curriculum time, the sessions provide children with hands-on experiences in nature, encouraging creativity, resilience and teamwork. Activities include den-building, wildlife spotting, outdoor crafts and learning essential bushcraft skills—all designed to foster a deep connection with the natural world.

Miss Ellis, the club coordinator, shared her enthusiasm: “Forest School is all about inspiring confidence, curiosity, and a love for the environment. We can’t wait to see our pupils thrive outside the classroom!”

The club, which meets weekly, has already been a huge hit, with children eagerly embracing the fresh air and adventure. Parents and staff have praised the initiative for its benefits to well-being, problem-solving, and teamwork.

We can’t wait to see Totley’s young explorers continue their outdoor journey! 🌿🌳✨
