Come join us Nature Watch: aimed to encourage children's interest in nature through fun educational activities. This month we will be celebrating spring and learning all about the life cycle of plants. Starting with an indoor activity planting seeds and learning about pollinators and how plants grow, before we go on an outdoor walk to explore springtime changes all around the nature reserve.
If you have any spare old cardboard egg cartons please bring them for planting seeds in. We will have some cardboard plant pots for everyone to use, but it is easier to fit and grow a variety of different seeds in egg cartons.
For accompanied children aged 4-11.
The session starts at 10:30am and finishes at 12noon.
Session costs £1.50 per child - pay by cash or bank transfer.
First session is free and all sessions are included in SVSC membership.
We are limited to 15 participants, so sessions are on a first come first served basis. No pre-booking is required, but you can help us to monitor potential numbers by selecting 'going' on the event page. If on the rare occasion the session is full you are welcome to take a scavenger hunt sheet and enjoy a walk around the nature reserve instead.
Any questions, just ask!
Dress for sunshine, rain, wind, or cold (bring wellies if you have them, or shoes you don't mind getting muddy!)
Drink and a snack is provided. Please let us know in advance if you have any allergies.
All children must be accompanied by a parent or carer.
