Details

The Secret Garden are excited to be running a session with Creature Connections this May half term.

What can you expect?
Brilliant bug forest school activities and crafts set up by The Secret Garden (as well as all of our usual play opportunities, mud kitchen, hammock etc.).
Hands on experience with some very special bugs provided by Creature Connections.
Learn interesting facts about the creatures and what makes them unique.

Due to the nature of this group we are advising that attendees are at least 3 years old in order to keep the creatures safe and to ensure they are getting the most from the session.

There will be free play and activities for 30 minutes prior to meeting the creatures, with the creatures arriving with us at 1:30pm, this is to allow you and them to make your way safely to the site.

There will be biscuits and squash available for all attendees. Please make us aware of any allergies or dietary requirements so we can accommodate for your needs.

All of our sessions are run by a qualified Forest School Leader and/or qualified teacher to help support your child's learning in nature.

Instructions

Please dress your child, and yourself, in weather appropriate clothing.

Please refer to our Forest School T&C's (attached below).

Where you are able to, please walk or use public transport to access our location and be mindful of our neighbours when entering and leaving the site. Further information on car parking (limited) is available below.
