Forest School Accreditation
Sacred Heart P.S. have officially been recognised as a Forest School! Miss Crozier, our Eco School co-ordinator, attended the annual NIFSA conference on Friday past at which we were inaugurated into the organisation.
We started our Forest School journey last year, making great use of our local wooded area at Dundrum Castle. We are excited to continue this journey as more classes become involved in the programme and more children are able to reap the benefits of outdoor learning.
Forest School lessons bring learning outdoors as children are able to connect with their local area. It is a child-centred learning process, providing learner inspired, hands-on experiences in the natural environment whilst bringing in important areas of the curriculum.
