Toddler Tuesdays At St Ives

This new event, aptly named ‘Toddler Tuesday Forest Fun’, was open to all 2-4 year olds and their parents and carers and was completely free of charge.
The children and their parents enjoyed many different activities together from rope swinging to den building, to making bird feeders to playing in the mud kitchen. Everyone had a fantastic morning and all the children left with a goodie bag and a homemade St Ives cookie!
St Ives school believes passionately in the value of Forest School and all pupils from Nursery to Year 3 enjoy Forest School on a weekly basis. The school has a dedicated Forest School Leader, Mrs Greatbatch, who organised the Toddler Tuesday event. She said “It was so lovely to hold our first Toddler Tuesday event and see so many families enjoying the forest together. Being in nature is a fantastic way of helping children develop social and communication skills along with confidence and self-esteem and, most importantly, it’s great fun!”
