About this Event

Come and discover what creatures call the Wolseley Centre home. Discover and learn to identify who is hiding under the log piles and who lurks beneath the depths of the pond from water scorpions to fish. There will be a surprise in every dip and dig!

Welcome to our home education sessions. These sessions follow the Forest School ethos to develop learning through play and be child-led. The sessions aim to provide children and their parents the opportunity to connect with the outside world and to learn a range of new skills.

Activities may include fire lighting, tool use, shelter building, wildlife identification and a variety of outdoor crafts and games. Come and give it a go!

Parents are required for the duration of the session but are encouraged to take a step back.

Activities suitable for children age 6+

Younger children welcome to attend but a place must be booked for them as places are limited


Other information
