Our team have been out training on our new slackline! 🤸‍♀️🌳

This is a new activity that our latest cohort of Forest School trainees will be learning as part of their training.

We’re always looking for new ways to make outdoor learning exciting, practical and fun! 💚

🌳 A new year means Forest School is back! 🌳

Blessed John Duckett Catholic Primary School had a fantastic time getting back outdoors, making camps and developing their tree-climbing skills. 🌿🔥

One of the highlights was harvesting the rye we sowed last year! 🌾 We’re looking forward to seeing what we can make with it—and hopefully baking some bread over the fire soon. 🍞

There’s nothing quite like learning, exploring and getting stuck into nature together!

Throughout the project, pupils enjoyed three fantastic experiences:

🌳 Forest Exploration – discovering the great outdoors at Hamsterley Forest
🌊 Coastal Adventure – exploring Roker Beach
🏕️ Camping Residential – spending a night camping right in their own school grounds!

From exploring new environments to trying new challenges and working together, the pupils had plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and have fun along the way. 🌱✨
