We’re excited to offer a school holiday experience for students aged between 6 and 13. We’ll take Julian Tenison Woods as a model as we use our explorer bags and hand lens to look and look again at creation. Each day will have a different focus and a mixture of hands-on activities, creative experiences and fun while learning. We’ll begin with insects on Tuesday, rocks, gems and fossils on Wednesday, move onto flowers, leaves and lichen on Thursday, and on Friday we’ll look and look again at seashells and feathers.
Participants will receive an ‘Explorers Bag’ and can register for one, two, three or all four days.
BYO snacks and drinks. Places are limited.
