Newbigging Primary School Dives into Nature with Exciting Forest School Programme

Children at Newbigging Primary School have been the first to try out an exciting new forest school programme from ANGUSalive aimed at enhancing young people’s connection with nature by using local woodland areas to get involved in outdoor learning and play.

The forest school is a learner-centred programme that works alongside the Curriculum of Excellence complementing and enhancing traditional classroom teaching.

Rangers from ANGUSalive have been undertaking training to qualify as forest leaders to offer children unique opportunities to explore and learn about the local environment, build shelters, climb trees and participate in various activities designed to build resilience through hands-on experiences.

Angus Council is hosting a flag raising ceremony at The Cross in Forfar on Monday 24 June 2024.

The Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet, Cameron Mullet, will raise the official Armed Forces Day flag at 10.30am and it will fly throughout the week as we head towards Armed Forces Day on Saturday 29 June.

Provost Brian Boyd will be joined by representatives of the Forfar Royal British Legion and other invited guests, including the Council’s Veteran’s Champion and former Provost Ronnie Proctor.

People are invited to join them for what is a chance to celebrate our Armed Forces Community, from current troops to service families, veterans and cadets.

Provost Boyd said: “Next week and Armed Force Day itself provides us all with an opportunity to say thank you to our Armed Forces Community for their hard work and commitment. This annual public show of support is undoubtedly an important morale booster for them all. Please take time to show your support for our armed services.”
