Clothing
For Forest School, children should have arms and legs covered even in hot weather to protect against scratches and grazes. Wellies are good footwear in all weathers, trainers are ok in dry weather if not playing with water! Sandals are not suitable. Sun protection would be needed in hot weather. In rain, some shelter is available, but waterproof clothing would be needed to ensure full participation. In cold weather, layers of clothing as well as hats and gloves are recommended.
