More Forest School than ever before.

A new school year at Fagley Primary School and there is more Forest School on the timetable than ever before. There are now eight sessions per week running for classes 1 to 6 and Nursery and Reception running their sessions once the new Nursery children have had chance to settle in.


Our groups have been making the most of the abundance of elder and blackberries to make their own berry paint. The children have found a multitude of uses for their berry paint from cave painting to Viking and Anglo-Saxon rune messages to Roman sundials and even face paint. 

For some of children, it was their first time in our wood, whereas others were old hands and couldn't wait to show the newbies around, pointing out their favourite trees and hills to climb along the way.
