We started with threading & weaving and then it was time for the children to lead their own play this morning. Forest School is the perfect place to see the children use their fine & gross motor skills, practice social skills and work together but it’s also really lovely (and meaningful) to be invited into their world & play!

Why is Risky Play good for children?

Risky play is important for children in early years because it allows them to develop crucial life skills like resilience, problem-solving, confidence, and risk assessment by pushing their boundaries, facing challenges, and learning to manage potential dangers within a safe environment, ultimately preparing them to navigate uncertainties in later life; it also supports their physical development by encouraging exploration and testing their limits through activities like climbing, balancing, and jumping.”
