Forest School afternoons really are some of the best at St Francis! Looking back over the adventures, discoveries and outdoor learning experiences our pupils enjoyed last year, it is wonderful to see the creativity, curiosity and confidence that flourishes when children are given the opportunity to explore the natural world.
A very special thank you also goes to two of our parents, Mr Miles and Mr Mackie, who generously gave their time, skills and expertise to help create a fantastic new addition to our Forest School last term – a wonderful mud kitchen for our pupils to enjoy.
Despite working in the extreme heat, they returned several times to carefully sand and finish the structure, ensuring every surface was safe, every rough edge smoothed and every detail perfected ready for the children to use. Their kindness, hard work and commitment to our school community is hugely appreciated.
We are so grateful to the Miles family, Mr Miles and Mr Mackie for helping make our Forest School an even more special place for our pupils.
