Cockburn Reach Academy is proud to provide exciting, hands-on learning that nurtures curiosity, confidence, and practical skills in every pupil through their very own Forest Schools programme.
Learning in the natural environment helps children develop problem-solving skills and deepens their connection with the outdoors.
Pupils are taking safe risks, from climbing trees to constructing dens, while enhancing teamwork through a variety of collaborative activities. The programme also sparks creativity, with children designing beautiful leaf artwork celebrating the colours of Autumn, planting bulbs and flowers to care for their environment, and creating maps to uncover hidden, “buried” treasure.
Cooking on open fires teaches practical skills and independence, giving pupils a real sense of achievement as they prepare and taste treats such as s’mores, pasta, fruit, omelettes, and more.
