- Learning by experience
- Exposure to manageable risk
- Better sleep and mood
Pupils will be able to join in with activities such as den building, making bug hotels, pond dipping, exploring the woodland, using tools and toasting marshmallows over fire.
How to Support Your Child at Home
Supporting your child at home plays an important role in their learning, confidence and wellbeing. Small, consistent actions can make a big difference.
Here are some simple ways you can help:
- Encourage a love of learning
Talk about what your child has learned at school and show interest in their work. Praise effort as well as achievement to help build confidence and resilience. - Read and talk together
Reading regularly with your child supports language development and comprehension. Talking about stories, feelings and experiences also helps develop emotional awareness. - Promote emotional wellbeing
Help your child name and talk about their feelings. Encourage calm strategies such as deep breathing, quiet time or drawing when emotions feel big. - Develop social skills
Practise turn‑taking, sharing and problem‑solving through games and play. Talking through social situations can help children feel more confident with others. - Stay connected with school
Regular communication with staff helps ensure your child receives consistent support both at home and in school.
