Becoming a Fairtrade and a Forest School

This staff meeting on 19/4/10 introduced Forest School concept with reception classes starting in 2010, Level 3 training booked for three teachers in July. The school aimed to become Fairtrade certified alongside being a Forest School. The whole school assembly highlighted lessons taught to years 3 and 5 classes, emphasizing problem-solving, independence, teamwork, participation, self-review, and leadership. The Junior School engaged years 3 and 4 with Creative Partners including artists, sculptors, animators, and web designers. The project "The Faraway Tree" fostered mixed-age group collaboration, resulting in innovative outcomes such as a giant mouth tree supporting science units and a time machine. Year Four students creatively explored shapes and structures in the environment by making shelters and models of mini beasts found, enhancing their learning experience.
