Forest School At Knockbreda Nursery School
Forest School
At Knockbreda Nursery School we are fortunate to enjoy three outdoor spaces and we make full use of these each day, whatever the weather! Each week we have a full morning of 'Forest School' when we enjoy 'forest free play' in the Sensory Garden. In addition to exploratory play, there are teacher led activities at our Forest School and these have involved lighting a campfire, creating a bug hotel and planting a herb garden!
