We offer FREE Countryside & Woodland sessions
We run free of charge countryside & woodland days.
These sessions are set up for one or two classes from the same school. The day can be planned to fit the school’s curriculum requirements. There will usually be time to do three or four hands-on activities in a day.
Teachers tell us that children who struggle in the classroom often thrive outside it, often pupils who arrive anxious or hesitant leave energised, proud, and connected.
These days are very flexible and can be altered on the day (subject to discussion with the teachers). The woodland days are suitable for KS1 or KS2. We are able to adapt to suit EYFS children.
