Outdoor Learning at Short Wood
At Short Wood, we pride ourselves on our amazing site and the way in which we utilize it in order to encourage all of our children to embrace the outdoor setting as a natural extension to the more traditional learning environment.
All of our Short Woodies, from Nursery right through to Year 6, enjoy at least one outdoor learning session each week. These sessions blend a Forest School approach, incorporating practical elements such as den building or fire lighting, with links to curriculum subjects where appropriate.
