Forest School Today
We found lots of puddles on the way to Forest School and had great fun splashing in them!
We practiced balancing and of course investigating the mud.
Standards and Quality Report 2020
Each year we write a report on how our planned improvements have gone. Please have a read and find more about our centre’s successes and areas for improvement.
Recovery Plan 2020 to 2021
This year we have been asked to produce a recovery plan and to recognise the impact that COVID-19 has had on children’s learning and more importantly their wellbeing The priorities for our plan are:
- To support all children to feel safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included.
- To further improve the learning experiences for our children through high quality observations and highly responsive planning.
We have produced a Parent Version of our Plan which we hope you find helpful.
Fun in the forest
Today the children were so busy and engaged in lots of forest experiences including, swinging, climbing, building and teamwork.
Sharing Our Learning
From today we will be sharing the learning and play that is happening in our playrooms and in the outdoors. It is unfortunate that our parents and carers are not able to come inside and see what their child is learning but we hope to share some of that with you on our blog.
On Friday, we had our first Forest School session and it was muddy fun for all as you can see in these photos.
Forest School is Starting Soon
We are delighted that our well established Forest School Programme will begin this Friday with our first group of children whose parents have been notified. The aim is for all of our pre-school children to take part and if we can we will also include our 3 year old children.
At Cart Mill we are passionate about the outdoors and want all of our children to experience learning in a natural environment which is the benefit of Forest School. Children will develop their curiosity for the living world and their confidence will increase as they explore a new setting.
