Wilderness Wednesdays at Acorns Pre-school, Christian Malford In September 2011 Acorns Pre-school, Christian Malford launched Wilderness Wednesdays. Wilderness Wednesdays are based on the Forest School concept. Forest School is an innovative approach to outdoor play and learning which originated in Scandinavia. Wilderness Wednesdays promote sensory child-led outdoor play, encouraging and stimulating curiosity and absorption. They build self confidence and self esteem, combine freedom with responsibility, and allow children to see the changing seasons first hand. A typical Wilderness Wednesday includes the children making bread for their morning snack, getting ready to go outside by themselves, walking to the nearby woodland where they participate in a group activity then returning to the setting to make their own hot chocolate. Last week the activity involved collecting acorns, soaking them to soften them and then planting them in the Acorns garden. Other activities include making animal models out of natural materials, making mud pies and experimenting with leaves in water and how the leaves change when the water is frozen. All children between the ages of two and a half and five are able to attend. If you would like to know more and to arrange a free taster session please call Paula Jenkins on 07816 280 810. NEW AT ACORNS PRE-SCHOOL.... We are constantly improving our services. New this year at Acorns Pre-school: · Optional hot home cooked meals using local produce · Forest School style learning on Wilderness Wednesday · Children can join us from two years old To come and see for yourself please call Paula Jenkins on 07816 280810 or email acornspreschool.2009@googlemail.com.
