Mindfulness tip! Learn to listen more. Next time you take a walk in the park, try to pay attention to the different sounds of nature. It will refresh your senses and you learn to be more "present".

Activities

This is a child-led programme, children get to discuss and decide what they want to do. Some of their favourite activities include building dens, mud play, nature craft, climbing trees, starting fire, outdoor cooking, exploring nature trails, whittling. All equipment will be provided!

Observations

On top of facilitating the programme, our coaches also make observations of the children during the session. Parents will receive a detailed report on your child's personality, interest, strengths. In a tough engaging environment like the outdoors, one's true personality will easily be expressed. We hope that with these insights, parents will get a better understanding of their child, and use it to make better decisions that will suit your child's interest as they progress in their journey in life. 

Coaches

To facilitate personal observation and support to each child, we maintain a low coach to child ratio of up to 1:6. 

 

Duration

Each session is 2.5 hours which provides ample time for children to indulge in their interest and activities.

 

The Forest School pedagogy works through regular interactions with nature and the children will look forward to coming to the sessions. To blossom, children need to feel settled, where they can learn at their own pace.

Drop off

Please note that this is a drop off session and is not parent accompanied. This is to allow your child freedom to explore their interest and interact with the other children.

Attire

Children should come in a long-sleeve top, long pants, covered shoes and a hat or cap. We recommend a covered attire to prevent insect bites, scratches and sunburn. As Fathers might recall, once you wear your “Long 4”, you are more willing to be immersed in nature and explore!

Backpack with water bottle, raincoat, change of clothes and a snack.
