What do the children need for Woodland Learning and Forest School sessions?
“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!” Alfred Wainwright
As part of our Woodland and Forest School experience, we will be visiting the woods in all weathers apart from high winds. It is important that children are dressed in suitable clothes to ensure that they are comfortable, dry, warm and ready for adventure! Please see a list of recommended clothing for the children below.
Cold/Wet Weather
- Warm, waterproof coat or all in one
- Lots of layers including a long sleeved top and a jumper
- Long trousers or leggings (waterproof if possible!)
- Wellies or walking boots
- Extra socks
- Hat, scarf and gloves
Hot weather
- Lightweight waterproof coat
- Long sleeved top
- Long trousers or leggings (no shorts, skirts or bare legs)
- Trainers or walking boots (no open toed shoes)
- Sun hat and sun cream
In order to keep arms and legs safe from stings, insect bites and scrapes long sleeved tops and long trousers must be worn at every session.
