Cascade’s goal with Green Lizard Wood is to challenge the limitations typically faced by schools and push the boundaries of what’s possible in person-centred support.
Woodland outdoor sessions provide our learners with the opportunity to encourage and inspire pupils through positive experiences.
By delivering this initiative, we aim to develop self-awareness and regulation, motivation, empathy, social communication skills, independence, self-esteem and confidence.
Sessions include a wide range of skills and activities within the natural environment: music, trails, treasure hunts, creativity and arts, den building, fire lighting and cooking, eating healthy, games, story time and so much more.
Outdoors we encourage learning through play to accompany skills that are created naturally through socialising with peers and staff.
In the natural environment, there is a element of problem solving which creates new imaginative ways of learning and working together.
