CHILDREN at a Rugby nursery have been getting their hands dirty during their first Forest School session.
Little ones at Bright Horizons Rugby Day Nursery and Preschool enjoyed making mud pies and role-playing by melting marshmallows on the pretend fire in their outdoor school.
It was their first Forest School session, a concept which teaches children innovation, problem solving, risk taking, creativity and teamwork through practical activities in an outdoor environment.
Nursery Manager Laura Smith said: “Forest schools have many benefits to children’s holistic development, such as building the children’s self-awareness, independence and communication skills.”
