The Croft on the Heath News......
Autumn - using palm drills to make apple stick men and autumn crowns
Over the summer, Mini-Me Mindfulness, Cheeky Monkeys Day Nursery and Bee Wild Bushcraft have all enjoyed The Croft!
"What an amazing experience for them all, so magical" "Thank you so much for giving our children such an amazing opportunity, it was emotional seeing it last night" "It has been an amazing week, what lucky children." "Thankyou, what special memories they have"
The Croft on the Heath is a fantastic outdoor learning area and Forest School on the field behind our school. Our staff, Mrs Benning and Mrs Hobbs are qualified Level 3 Forest School Leaders and are so passionate about what they do, which overflows into our children!
It is for our children to use and is also available for local community groups to use too. This project development was inspired and led by Nicky Malkin (Science Lead Teacher) alongside Jo Moult (Headteacher). The project cost in the region of £18,000, and the money was raised by local businesses, funding grants and the kindness and generosity of our families and our local community, who showed incredible support and stamina over the last 12 months as the Croft was being developed.
Please follow us @The Croft on the Heath on Facebook - and you can see how this little idea became a huge, exciting reality.
