• Forest School

  Tue 29 Nov 2022

  P2, P6 and P7 took part in their first joint Forest School lesson today at Dundrum Castle. The Forest School initiative is a fantastic opportunity for children to solve problems and work as a team whilst exploring and learning about the environment around them.   

  P2 taught the boys and girls from P6 and P7 all about their Arctic topic and together, they created some beautiful replicas of different animals from that region, including narwals and polar bears, using only the natural materials around them. 

  Everyone had a fantastic time and they are looking forward to the next joint lesson as we aim to embed the Forest School programme within Sacred Heart P.S!
