Inspring Awe and Wonder
“Here at Sacred Heart
School, we are always looking for
opportunities to provide enrichment
for the children’s learning. Our outdoor
environment has been enhanced recently
to provide a Forest School area which provides
the chance for ‘awe and wonder’ moments and
exploration. For example, the children make camps,
build animal homes, re-enact World War One
drills, bake flatbreads, plant trees and search for
bugs. All the while, teachers question and
support the children to deepen their
knowledge and understanding of the
world around us.”
