Forest Schools
At Newtownards Nursery School we are committed to a holistic approach to education and officially became a Forest School in 2020. Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve, develop independence, confidence and self-esteem, through hands on learning experiences in a local woodland or natural environment with trees.
In addition, Forest School is designed to be child-led and encourages children to participate in a range of creative, sensory and environmental awareness activities.
We attend Forest School once a month at our local park or at Mount Stewart and are proud to say that we venture out in all weathers!
Take a look at the photos and videos below to give you a flavour of what Forest School is all about...
