Testimonials

Rose is always amazing when she attends our events, the children adore her and love what she creates with them. She’s super professional and I know we can always depend on her to do a great job!

Rose comes highly recommended. She has amazing skills, is professional and brilliant with everyone, especially children. We hired her for an event and couldn’t be more pleased. She arrived with everything she could possibly need and everyone was very happy. Thank you!

OUTDOOR ACTIVITY SESSIONS

Running a Forest School session where we made our own bows and then had an archery competition in the woods

Running a Forest School session where we made our own bows and then had an archery competition in the woods

One particular type of session I am fond of running is an outdoor session to work with groups to develop resilience, self esteem and confidence.  I run sessions such as Outdoor Art, Exploring and scavenger hunting, Den Building, Fire Circle Activities, Story Telling, Whittling etc.

I am qualified as a Level 3 Forest School Leader and have taught in many primary schools as well as for home school networks, at festivals and for private organisations.

Part of what makes Forest School Pedagogy unique is that the sessions are enduring over a number of weeks so please contact me if this is something you are interested in.
