Year 3 Outdoor Learning Curriculum
The Year 3 Forest School programme builds skills for ‘Surviving in the Outdoors’. Alongside organised games and free play, children will learn about extreme weather and how to tie knots to make shelters. They will learn how to safely use a variety of tools and build and light a fire themselves. They will then put these skills together for a challenge to ‘survive in an extreme weather scenario’!
- Develop fire building and starting techniques and recap the fire triangle.
- Learning how to adapt to a range of weather conditions in the outdoors.
- Use a variety of tools to cut natural materials for different purposes.
- Introduction to foraging skills and identifying different uses for common plants.
