Perfect for Forest School Leaders and outdoor education providers, the Forest School Session Planner gives you a place to write down your ideas for open ended, child led, outdoor activities and learning opportunities. The planning pages take care of all the different elements that you, as a Forest School Leader, have to think about for each session; Check boxes to confirm you have performed your site check and risk assessment for the current session, Weather forecast & fire safety check box. Group size, staff size and weather can all be recorded. There is a handy Resources Box so you can see at a glance what you need to take with you for each particular session. There are also sections to note any specific needs of a participant both on the register and in the session planning sections. Jot down your observations and evaluations of the session and your ideas for follow up activities for future sessions and also record memorable moments and insights gleaned during reflection time with your group.
This planner will help you to create Forest School sessions that inspire learning and curiosity for your participants and it will help you to get all of those ideas out of your head and organised in one place.
You might opt to use separate planners for the different groups you work with, however this planner is useful for planning regular sessions on the same site, with multiple groups as well as for those of us that are facilitating sessions in different venues for multiple groups and who need to keep their notes and plans in one easy to access place.
Each session can be planned out and evaluated on each double page spread, with room to make notes for follow up activities in order to build upon participants learning in future sessions.
