Risk Benefits in Forest School.

Year 4 are learning about risk benefit in their Forest School sessions. Actively teaching the children to analyse activities in detail, gives them a further depth of knowledge and encourages more independence. This week after some discussion in class children put themselves into groups, each group chose a Forest School activity. They nominated a Health and Safety inspector whose job was to evaluate potential risks. Over the next few weeks we will work on this topic, encouraging the children to understand how to implement safety measures and compare the risk to the benefit of the task.
