Forest School @ Riversides

 

Our Forest School sessions are unearthing a great many positive traits among the pupils of Primary 1

 

We often enlist the help of some of the older pupils in school and this mentoring approach has proved extremely beneficial to all who are involved.

The older pupils learn group management, how to impart instructions in a clear and reasoned manner and also how to resolve issues and conflicts that may arise for their younger peers.

Meanwhile, the Primary class, who invariably hold their older peers in a higher regard, respond in a more subtle and personable way than they may with staff.

These interactions are a valuable tool to expand upon and help create a broad camaraderie that expands beyond the year groups within the school setting.
