Forest Play in P4 Mrs Cribbin’s class.

17th Jan 2025


Forest Play in Primary 4 is ‘a magical experience’.

 

This term the children have been enjoying the opportunity to play and build dens in our forest area among the trees, bushes and shrubs.

The materials available outdoors such as soil and leaves, sticks and stones are ideal for the children to manipulate and experiment with. They are finding many interesting and unusual places to hide, build, climb and balance. Den building allows children to interact in nature. They are learning to negotiate, problem solve, resolve, manage and work as a team. The children are
also open to other children’s suggestions and are learning from their own mistakes.
