Woodland Learning
On their day of Woodland Learning, the children will need to come to school dressed in their Woodland Learning clothes. Please make sure all other items are named and are in a named bag. Woodland Learning will happen in most weathers, other than high winds and thunderstorms, therefore it means the children should be prepared to be outside in all weathers and dressed appropriately. It is also useful to have a separate plastic bag for muddy clothes or boots following the sessions.
Most of you will be aware of the clothing requirements for participation in a Woodland Learning session, but as a reminder, your child will need:
- Jacket/waterproof coat
- Fleece/sweatshirt
- Waterproof trousers/trousers that can get muddy - please remember, shorts are NOT suitable
- Spare socks
- Wellies or boots (named and kept at school)
- Woolly hat/sunhat (weather dependent)
- Gloves (weather dependent)
- Spare plastic bag for muddy kit
*Short sleeves, cropped tops and football kits are not suitable.
