Forest School Programme
Mulberry House’s Forest School programme takes place both on campus and in the great outdoors to give students the space, freedom, and practical skills for exploration and discovery, nurturing meaningful and positive lifelong learning experiences.
We firmly believe that outdoor learning is as important to a child’s development and well-being as a traditional classroom and school setting. Students embark on weekly field trips, from visits to organic farms to hiking to the Tai Po Kau Education Trail. They also grow their own plants and vegetables at the organic farm, learning about crop cultivation and harvesting.
Outdoor learning creates a variety of exciting and challenging activities, developing concrete knowledge and practical skills that adds value to children’s classroom experiences. These hands-on experiences in a natural environment also gives students ample opportunities to promote confidence, self-esteem, independence, and resilience.
Programme Highlights:
- Child-led play-based experiential learning experience with a focus on all 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch)
- Inquiry about our local flora, fungi, and fauna
- Experience with planting and farming
- Safety first exploration about the natural world
- Blended learning of indoor and outdoor experiences with safety preparation and guides, immersive experiences as well as reflection workshops
