Site Under Construction
English Language Forest School
*Coming April 2022*
Combining our knowledge of English with our passion for nature and living in the woods, our English Language Forest Schools have been developed for children aged 3 - 10 to develop physical agility, mobility and strength, an interest and inquisitiveness for nature and to learn the English language from our mother tongue teacher.
Our English Language Forest School sessions are held in our own, Bee Wild Woods. Perfectly situated in the foothills of the Italian Alps. We have regular night time visitors that include Deer, Wild Boar, Foxes, Stone Marten and Red Squirrels and have a mixture of meadow and woodland to explore, adventure and learn in.
​
The essence of Forest School, at least in our opinion, is that of freedom and connectedness to nature. For this reason, we give kids relative freedom (within certain boundaries!) and have free play incorporated into most activities.
With a background in international tourism, environmental conservation, forest school, well-being and human behaviour, along with being fluent English speakers (one mother tongue, one Italian-Welsh) our team are perfectly placed to work with you and your children to make the most of their time in nature.
​
We love to spend time exploring, getting muddy hands (and faces) looking for flora and fauna within the woods, from the tiniest ants to funghi the size of your head we love teaching the kids all about our surroundings
Alongside our lightly structured games and activities we take pride in running dedicated workshops for the kids. Fire lighting is a popular activity that gets all the kids involved while our 'Forest Kitchen' provides an opportunity for learning key life skills as well as hand eye coordination and agility in chopping vegetables, preparing food and cooking.
​
We also love teaching the kids about safe tool use and get the older kids using knives, axes and saws as we craft and explore different projects on site.
There are loads of benefits for participating in Forest School, from improved health (both physical and mental health), social confidence, practical skills, balance and mobility and learning it is ok to slow down and just be.
​
Everything is in English so kids will be immersed in the language and we dedicate time every session to go through key words in English and always have an Italian speaker on hand for emergencies.
