Dressing for Forest School



Before dressing for Forest School, make sure you have been to the lavatory.

· Measure yourself on the tape measure and choose the right coloured waterproofs for your height.

· Collect a pair of wellingtons in your size from the welly rack.



Base Layer:

· You should be wearing the following items of school uniform – polo shirt, jumper, trousers.

· Tuck your school trousers into your socks.

· If it is very cold or wet, put on an extra pair of socks and your coat.



Outer Layer:


· Put on your waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers.

· Put on your wellingtons (or walking boots) and put your shoes either on the welly rack or tidily in the Forest School changing area.

· Pull the waterproof trousers over the wellies and pull the elastic foot strap under the bottom of the boot.

· In cold weather, put on a woollen hat and gloves.

· In warm weather, put on a sun hat (and sun cream).

At the end of your Forest School session, make sure hang the waterproofs back on the peg as you found them and put your wellingtons back on the welly rack.


Don’t forget to wash your hands take any of your own gloves, socks, hats etc. with you.

    Hi really like the look of your waterproofs and the fact they are colour coded for size. Only been able to find them for little people. Looks like you have larger sizes. Can you tell me where they came from? Thanks.

    We bought them from Waterproof World. http://www.waterproofworld.co.uk/kibasuits.htm#ocean

    They were more expensive that our previous ones but much more hard-wearing. They gave us a discount for ordering in bulk. They were really helpful when I rang to place our order. The under-boot strap has helped to prevent soggy socks when puddle splashing. The colour coding has made changing time much quicker and easier. We ordered five different colours in 7 different sizes (repeated the colour of the largest and smallest sizes rather than ordering the pastel shades) We bought 32 sets altogether. We generally take up to 12 children at time out and have found that this number has covered our needs well.
