Forest school sessions and workshops in Woking

We offer hands-on experiential learning for children

Habitat runs forest school sessions, hands-on woodland workshops and woodland birthday parties from the Forest School area at Goldsworth Primary School. Small groups, real tools, and plenty of time outdoors in all weather conditions.

What we do

Three ways to spend time in the woods.

All three run the same way: outdoors in the woodland, in a small group, with children handling real tools and making real things. What changes is how long you come for, what you build and who you come with.

Woodland Workshops

One-off workshops for ages 6 to 9, where children use real woodworking tools to build a project and take it home. Our first is a wooden sailing boat with a leaf-printed sail, on Saturday 17 October 2026.

Forest School sessions

Regular outdoor sessions where children explore, build dens, cook on the fire, use tools and learn to look after the woodland. Run the way Forest School is designed to work: the same group, over time, at the children’s pace.

Who runs Habitat

Miss Fercsik, Forest School teacher.

Habitat is run by Miss Fercsik, Forest School teacher at Goldsworth Primary School. She started Habitat because of what happens to children outdoors: the quiet concentration, the willingness to try something difficult, and the pride of having made something with their own hands.

Sessions are small on purpose, so every child gets time, attention and a proper go at the tools.
