At Sabden Primary School, we are proud to be able to offer our pupils the opportunity to learn outdoors in our dedicated Forest School area. 

We believe that Forest School is an inspirational approach to learning that takes place in a natural setting. Through regular outdoor sessions, pupils develop resilience, creativity, teamwork skills, and emotional well-being. Our woodland space acts as an extension of the classroom, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. These sessions are led by a qualified Forest School Practitioner. 

Autumn Term 2

This half-term at Forest School, our Year 5 & 6 pupils have been learning to identify a variety of trees in our local environment. We have explored the differences between deciduous trees, which lose their leaves in Autumn, and evergreen trees which stay green all year round.

Using our new knowledge, we investigated which types of greenery would be the most suitable for creating our seasonal decorations. We discovered that evergreen branches are the best choice as they stay fresh, hold their shape and bring a lovely woodland scent to our festive crafts!
