Forest School is a unique outdoor learning experience that allows children to connect with nature while developing practical skills, confidence and teamwork. It offers an educational approach where children learn through play, exploration, and hands-on activities in a natural environment. At Forest School, children engage in a variety of activities such as learning bushcraft skills, using tools safely, storytelling, and nature-based crafts. It’s a fantastic way for children to develop new skills and foster a love for the outdoors! ](https://rushey-green-primary.schudio.com/news/2024-09-30-our-forest-school-offer) [![Image of Music at Rushey Green](https://files.schudio.com/rushey-green-primary/imagecache/400x300c/news/musicmark2(1).png) ### Music at Rushey Green 23 September 2024 We have 60 children learning instruments this term under the excellent tuition of our instrument teachers from the Lewisham Music services.
