| Forest Festival! | ||
| October 2008 | years old | |
| FEI Forest Festival! Over 550 people took part in a hugely successful FEI Forest Festival event held at Badock's Wood Local Nature Reserve, Bristol on Sunday 18th May. Activities and workshops at this free public event included guided walks, woodcraft and art workshops, tree dressing, storytelling, river dipping, owl encounters, barbeque, demonstrations, information and much more! A key highlight of the event was an outdoor play performance by pupils from Badock's Wood Primary School which is adjacent to the site. This event was the culmination of a year long FEI training project funded by the FEI partnership fund which has enabled local practitioners to develop their skills in a range of key forest education areas of work including earth education, bushcraft, outdoor play, tree folklore, forest school, greenwoodworking and risk assessment. The training project has been immensely successful in terms of acheiving our aims to raise the quality, profile and passion for forest education in this region and has fully exceded our expectations in terms of its wider impact. As a result of this project the cluster group grew significantly and was the springboard for our next partnership project - 'Hands on History'. |

| Outdoor Learning Open Day Saturday, May 9 A Practical Demonstration Day for teachers of years 5, 6, 7 & 8 A chance to have tried your hand at making something relevant to the history curriculum as a taster experience for your own class. Alternatively it was a chance to use them as ideas for humanities, PHSE or DT topics, whether making hurdles, shelters or fires, cooking, using a pole lathe, or other tools or even telling stories. Teachers networked with other teachers, met outdoor learning practitioners, planned lessons and discovered how much of the hard work we can do to help you bring history to life. Download the flyer for full details of what was on offer. And if you're interested in attending another one, please let us know. We may organise a similar event in the new year. |
