Abberton Home Education Fires & Food

Our Abberton Home Education Group runs on the 4th Wednesday of every month (exc. August and December). These are drop-off sessions so children do not need to be accompanied – it is for children aged 8-15. Each session has a theme where we will complete activities and engage with nature based on the topic that month. This is a relaxed session where children can be themselves and work together to develop social skills and to foster a deep understanding of wildlife and a love of the natural world.

In September it’s time to get cooking. We will look at what plants can be foraged around the nature reserve, practice our fire lighting and cook up some treats. Don’t worry, we won’t just eat foraged food!

Please bring children to education shelter to sign them in (directions can be given at front desk). A consent form should be completed ahead of the session so that children can be dropped off.

Consent Form

Please come suitably dressed for the weather as we will be outside for the whole session.
