Our next Botley Brambles session is:

Let the wild adventures begin!

This exciting programme offers a unique opportunity for children to connect with nature, learn new skills, and unleash their creativity, all within the familiar environment of their school grounds.

Embrace Nature Pedagogy

Our Forest School programme is built on the principles of nature pedagogy, an approach that values direct experiences in nature as a powerful tool for learning and development. Children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover at their own pace, fostering a love for the outdoors and a deeper understanding of the natural world.

What exciting activities await your child?

• Nature exploration: Discover the hidden wonders of the school grounds, identify plants and animals, and build shelters using natural materials.
• Experienced and passionate instructors: Hosted by Mr Evans-Lee, a Level 3 Forest School practitioner, and Mrs Preto Pires. Both are trained in First Aid and dedicated to providing a safe and enriching experience.
• Hands-on skills: Learn to use tools safely, build fires, and create nature-inspired crafts.
• Creative play: Engage in imaginative games, build fairy houses, and tell stories inspired by the natural world.
• Teamwork and problem-solving: Work together to overcome challenges, build confidence, and develop social skills.
