For this session we will be venturing out of the woods to discover some of the other wonderful places in west Penwith. Help with transport for this event can be arranged.

Forest school encourages children to take responsibility for themselves and others, to understand risk and how to make appropriate choices. They will learn to work with others, develop social and emotional skills and resilience.We find that developing these skills and letting the sessions be child led Enables them to complete tasks such as lighting the campfire or cooking their own food upon it. There is lots of fun to be had!

Currently, we run home education forest school once a month on a Friday afternoon. This is aimed at age 5+ years, allowing us to facilitate different activities and crafts to their relevant age group. As our home education group is a continual programme children progress to using several craft skills and handheld tools may be used depending on age and capabilities (please note parental supervision is required at all times)  we believe this contributes to developing their own autonomy.

We ask that you come dressed appropriately and prepared for all sorts of weathers. Sensible footwear is essential as there will be walking over uneven terrain.With regards to food we will provide a snack around the campfire but if you have any dietary needs please make us aware prior to the start of the session. We recommend bringing a drink of water as it can get very warm in the woods.

We do have compost loos and baby changing facilities on site.Parking is on roadside near to the entrance to the woods.
