The Orchards adventure to Barton Clough Forest School

In a wonderful example of collaboration between two Bright Futures schools, children from The Orchards were delighted to have the opportunity to attend Forest School for the first time across the road at Barton Clough. The group from Brambles and Riverside 1 fantastically transitioned out of school, across the road and into Barton Clough’s Forest School. Children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the outdoor environment, where they were splashing in deep puddles, walking in and out of trees and bumpy pathways, climbing on wooden planks, swinging on big tyres and tree branches, and a particular favourite was sharing the hammock. They also experienced a campfire, where they watched the fire from a safe distance and listened to adults’ instructions of being safe. The Orchards look forward to many more visits!
