Here the Beckies are joined by the lovely Mindy from Badger Wood.
We discover what risks children are really taking in the woods and what outside play can really mean for them.
What does Forest School actually mean and what is its purpose?
The children can gain a true place in their environment which enables them to understand change over time.
Children's emotional and intellectual play is very much a part of forest school, as well as the more well known aspects of physical play.
Is there a curriculum that children should follow?
What are the main benefits of forest school and is this a journey of discovery that can last a lifetime ?
