Description
We have been using the forest area in Pilrig Park for HWB sessions with our P6 & P7 pupils. Children have learnt to risk assess the area, as unfortunately, this can be misused by the public. Once the area is safe children enjoy climbing in the trees, digging in the mud (we take mud kitchen tools), using the tree swing (see picture) and building dens. We have noticed over the 4 week block that children are able to communicate better with their peers and have experienced more creative outdoor play. We will be returning to this area after the holidays.
