Take a look at some of the activities you’ll learn
Using a Bow Saw
This video gives you direct example of how to use a bow saw and a pruning saw safely! We take time to give you professional training into how and why we are using these tools as any mistakes could result in serious injury. We talk through all the considerations for you to think about, which wood to use and the options you have.
Fox Walking Game
Many of the games we enjoy enable a group to develop their natural senses and begin to increase their self and nature awareness. Fox walking, a way of walking that derives from watching and learning from predators like the fox, provides a skill to walk slowly and quietly through the woods.
How to make a Wooden Mallet
This activity teaches many useful skills from using the saw to knife work. It can be done with all ages, as long as we apply the different methods of using tools from the other videos.
How is this course different from the Level 3 Qualification?
This online training resource does not give you a formal qualification in Forest School Leadership.
It has been designed at the same standard and beyond as a Level 3, by Marina Robb, an endorsed Forest School Association Trainer with 30 years experience.
There is no requirement to have a Forest School Qualification to take children out of doors to learn and play. As a teacher or practitioner, you are legally obliged to have risk assessments in place and insurance relevant to practice offered.
The course enables and equips people with the practical delivery of Forest School-based activities to a high competency, with all the relevant health and safety procedures and pedagogy weaved throughout the course.
The Forest School approach builds on 6 core principles, and is part of a weekly child led provision, delivered by a qualified practitioner. If you want to deliver an ongoing Forest School rather than Forest School based activities or Outdoor Learning, then we recommend you take a Level 3 'in-person' qualification with Marina Robb
