Forest school will take place in all weather conditions except for extreme cases like very high wind (i.e. a Met Office warning for wind) or storms. Children (and adults!) must be well equipped to deal with the weather. This means:
In winter and colder weather:
- Long sleeves and trousers
- Wellies, walking boots or sturdy closed shoes
- Warm socks
- Hat and gloves
- Warm and waterproof jacket
- Waterproof trousers
- Warm jumper/fleece
- Extra layers in very cold conditions
In summer and warmer weather:
- Sun hat
- Sun block
- Long sleeves and trousers (thin material is fine if hot weather)
- Closed shoes, walking boots or wellies
- Waterproof coat in case of rain
- Waterproof trousers and a warm jumper/fleece if forecast is for rain or colder weather
